Changing code at run-time

Import the xpo file for this project into version 3- SP3 system. 

A question that keeps on coming up from time to time is "How do I change code at runtime".

Well.... before reading further, scroll down to the bottom of the page and take the disclaimer very very seriously *s*

Basically you can achieve this in multiple ways. Your imagination is the limit.

For e.g. You could update a field of type FreeTxt in a table and then reference this field with runbuf method. Or you can put a macro reference in the code and change the macro at run time (at least you are not changing class at run time) or just change the class at run time. The downloadable xpo file will show you how to do this.

Please use this project for testing/learning only. This logic should never ever be used on a live site. There are just too many problems associated with changing code at run-time.

If you have a scenario where you think there is no option but to change code at runtime then do drop me an email I may be able to come up with an alternative solutions.  One time, I have even implemented tablemap to get around this problem. Now you will probably ask me how is tablemap an alternative to changing code at runtime. My answer is ..your imagination is the limit. I will put a project later explaining how to use tablemap to achieve the effect of change in code at runtime.
