Is there a function in filepro that will do the same thing as Excel's 
INDIRECT function ?

Here's what I'm planning to do:

On a html page Have a couple of Radio buttons with Field names and field 
numbers onthem. So when a user checks some of these radio button and 
Sumbits them. My Unix system will run a cgi script that will DEURL that
string of information and it will parse it within filepro and will export
a Comma delimited Report back to the webpage Requestor based on the fields
he wanted.
So if the Radio button value is 1, then my export command will take that 
number and make it field 1 so the export writes the value of field one on 
the CSV file. and so on.... So the user using the web application can 
decide by cecking some preshown fields which ones he wants on the report.

So can I do this :

export ascii out=("inv.csv") r=\n


import ascii imp=(file_name)  f=~ r=\n

aa=imp(1){","{imp(2)

write out


------ cut here -----------------

Thanks
