Nope. Use Execute instead.

You can do the same with LotusScript using the Execute statement. This is better than Evaluate with formula because Evaluate is limited to some 255 characters or so (I forget the exact number) whereas Execute isn't.

Also, while you can't debug Execute script during execution, you can certainly debug it as you're developing the code. And if worse comes to worse, you can always replace the execute statement with the problematic code in your test environment to resolve any issues. You can never do that with Evaluate.

So for dynamic coding, LotusScript is still better than formula.
