Does anyone know how to take in values from a user and input them into a sql statement stored in the focexec?

In other words, I'm using SQL Wizard to input SQL statements into the focexec however there are parameters in the sql statement that are gained from the user. I'm wondering how to I take the values I've prompted the user for and dynamically insert them into the SQL statement?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

You can use Amper variables in sql statements just as you do in the focus queries.

select * from somedb.sometable
where somefile = '&somevar'

The &somevar would be the parameter the user input in the request.

Unbelievable! Its always the simple things. I knew that worked for running sql directly against the database (using SQL Navigator) but didn't realize WebFocus would recognize it.

Thanks so much for your help!
