This question is adressed to Antonio. I know that xHB have "xHbScript" . It's requirement to have something to FWH , that script will support good FWH things ... 
. What you can say , Antonio ? ... Or maybe it's any other technique which can support FWH libs ? I'm asking for that , because it's ideas to do own ERP more flexible and , I'm thinking , scripting with FWH can do this job ...
With best regards ! Rimantas
Rimantas,
You may use xHB's "xHbScript", it works fine with FWH

I have not tested it myself, but it should work ok
Rimantas,
I'm just curious, where are you going with this? What is the advantage to using script insead of code?

. So , in mine mind , directory with prg's or precompiled ppo's , maybe xbs's , files it's the easiest way to manage such things . Now , I'm adding code , rebuilding exe , and then placing the new exe remotely in users servers . I'm thinkig that remotely to do new prg file or modify old its more easy ... 
Maybe it's working and I don't know how to to run that . Rimantas,
I just forgot this: Harbour natively supports dynamic scripting! There is no need for you to use a third party scripting tool!
You create a HRB file on runtime and execute it from the application, so there is no limitations at all and you can execute any Harbour code
Let me find some samples for you.
James, runtime scripting is an incredible powerfull feature, that allows to have full data driven support in your applications Its the foundation of ERP applications
Rimantas,
Do you use Harbour or xHarbour ?
I have been watching this topic with interest. I am using xharbour (bcc) now. But like to know the possibilities of creating hrb files on the fly and running them both in harbour and xharbour. In principle what I am looking for is something similar. Have some code as data somewhere and run it at runtime, instead of replacing the exe for every small modification.
#include "FiveWin.ch"
function Main()
Compile( "another.prg" )
__HrbRun( "another.hrb" )
MsgInfo( "done" )
return nil
function Compile( cPrgName )
WinExec( "harbour.exe " + cPrgName + " /n /gh", 0 )
while ! File( cFileNoExt( cPrgName ) + ".hrb" )
SysRefresh()
end
return nilfunction DontNameThisMain()
MsgInfo( "Hello world!" )
return nilThanks
Assuming that we precompiled a program is .hrb and stored it as data. We read the .hrb into a memory variable. How can we execute it direclty? ( without having .hrb file on disk ) ?
NageswaraRao,
Just copy the data to a temporal external file:
MemoWrit( "test.hrb", cHrbData )
later on, erase it:
FErase( "test.hrb" )
My mistake, you can directly execute it from memory too
__HrbRun( MemoRead( "another.hrb" ) )
Yes. This is better .. Thanks
I have tested with xharbour. In xharbour __hrbrun requires the filename as parameter. it looks like __hrbrun calls __hrbload with the file name. now if _hrbrun uses __hrbload to load the hrb file into memory, then what is the function that executes the code in the memory ? i guess we need to use that function to execute code in memory
