structure access using strings for tag-names [message #43427]

Hello everyone,

I would like to ask your opinion about the following.

Using the function CREATE_STRUCT it is possible to create a struct with
tag names defined by strings. This way it is possible to create structs
without knowing their names at compile time.

However even if I don't have to know the tag names when creating a
struct, it seems that I still have to know them, when I want to acccess
the data within that struct, because I couldn't find any procedure or
function for this purpose and struct.'tag_name' quite naturally gives a
syntax error.

Any ideas why this isn't implemented, or why it isn't necessary to have
it (would be nice to set up simple associative containers, wouldn't it)?

Best regards,

Thomas
