Re: SET_ITEM_PROPERTY for use with values...

Try a combination of the COPY command and the NAME_IN command.

Let's see,
> :id_01 := :global.value;
> but by calling :current_position
> ':current_position' := :global.value;

If you mean that :current_Position := the value as in

    :global.value = 5 and therefore :current_position=5 Then
  :id_01 := :Current_Position should work.

But if you mean that :current_Position holds the name 'global.value', then you want something like COPY(Value, variablename):

    id_01 := Name_in(Name_in('current_position')) Or

    COPY(Name_In(Name_In('current_Position')), 'id_01')

Reads like this

   Assign to id_01 as follows:

        Using 'Current_Position', return it's value
        (which is really 'global.value').
           Using the returned value, 'global.value', return
           its contents.
