Hi filepro list

Happy Thanksgiving.
Trying to put the name of a form in a dummy variable
and print the form.  Under certain circumstances,we want
different forms for the same option.

tried this first with a declared variable, then just a regular
dummy, neither worked.

sco unix,   5.0.13r4

here is sample code:

rn = "1"
lookup sub = goctrl   r=rn   -e
fx = sub(76)                                               'data in field 76     -    check   or
checkmid

if:        fx gt ""
then:  form fx  ; end

also tried it this way

if :    sub(76) gt ""
then:  form sub(76)  ; end

didn't work either.

what does work is this:
form "check"

anyone with some ideas?

tom
