EXECUTE

version 3

Note: You will rarely need to use this command.

EXECUTE (statement)

Parameter	Type		Description
statement	String		Code to be executed

EXECUTE executes statement as a line of code. The statement string must be one line. If statement is an empty string, EXECUTE does nothing.

The rule of thumb is that if the statement can be executed as a one line method, then it will execute properly.

In a compiled database, the line of code is not compiled. This means that statement will be executed, but it will not have been checked by 4D Compiler at compilation time.

Use EXECUTE sparingly, as it slows down execution speed.

The statement can be in the following:

• a Call to a project method

• a Call to a 4D command

• an Assignment

The statement can include process variables and interprocess variables. The statement cannot contain control of flow statements, because it must be in one line of code.
