pcsoft.us.windevCopyright 2026, PC SOFT20 Jan 2015 16:11:00 Z19 Jan 2015 08:19:00 ZHi For a generic data import routine I am writing I need to be able to declare a class which corresponds to the data file I am using. I have done something like this previously as follows MyClass is object dynamic SWITCH ls_filename CASE "CusMast": MyClass is NEW CusMastClass CASE "STKMast": MyClass is NEW STKMastClass etc etc I have quite a lot of data files which could potentially import data so what I would like to do is declare something like MyClass is NEW ClassName where ClassName is a string field from a data table, which holds "CusMastClass", "STKMastClass" etc. Declared as above doesn't work & neither does indirection. Is anything like this possible or do I have to stick to a huge SWITCH statement? Thanks David30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/49915-dynamic-class-declaration/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)guestpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/49915-dynamic-class-declaration-49970/read.awp20 Jan 2015 16:11:00 ZAlexandre Thanks for the update.
