Dynamic Input and Run-time Function Binding

[Keith Y.]

Had some very good conversations with Rene, Leo and Morgan at WWDC 2017 concerning adding dynamic input features to static input and binding function calls at run-time versus compile time.   I was wondering if there has been any consideration on adding these two things to any near future versions of Genero?

Hello Keith,

the next two items are on the shortlist of new features for 3.20:
- Ability to pass function parameters by reference
- The new type AnyRecord - the "base type" of any record.

Both items directly belong to your request.

Adding dynamic input features to static input: this item is not on the shortlist, it's not scheduled for now.

Sounds interesting! Are there any plans to allow any datatypes to be passed by reference, like ByRef in VbScript for example? It would be nice for large RECORD's for instance...

Rene,

Thanks for the updates.
