    • Hey guys is there a solution for my little problem to start a prg with a variable?

    cExecCode = "programm1"
DO &cExecCode

    I also tried evaluate() but it didnt work either.

    • Florentin,

    The compiler rule for DO expects an identifier and not a macro (yet). I will change that for a next build.

    You should be able to call it like a function:
    &(cExecCode+"()")

    or slightly more advanced, bypassing the macro compiler
    _CallClipFunc(cExecCode)

    The last method also allows you to pass parameters like this
    _CallClipFunc(cExecCode,1,"42",Date())
