Support variables for the literals within genbiL

[Seddryck]

Currently it's not possible to have some dynamics part in genbiL.

The idea is to be a bit more dynamic and support the replacement of literals (placeholder surrounded by simple quotes) by variables.

variable set $filename to 'alpha'
case load file '$filename$.csv';

Will be allowed and interpreted as case load file 'alpha.csv';

Hi @Seddryck,

Has this been implemented somewhere so I can use it (any alpha/beta/release)?

I haven't find any documentation to this, also the syntax mentioned above does not work for me (using the v1.23).

Thanks for any info/advice.

No it hasn't. I'm not working on NBi at this moment and not planning to work on this feature in the upcoming months.

Ok, thanks for the reply.

Is there any workaround for that or not at all?

I would like to manage e.g. connection strings that are repeated again and again during the longer genbil scripts.

Or to add some variables to them like db name.
