Hi,

I am facing a problem in the WHERE Clause while comparing a variable with an EQ statement to two different characters P and N.

I am pasting the code below.I want &transac to be look like -> 'P' OR 'N' <- after he interpretation of the -SET command so that the WHERE clause works fine.I tried using \[escape characted for single quotes ) by giving the below statement also -

Hi,

Do you mean something like this :

quote:

-SET &transac = IF (&transac EQ 'Rick') THEN '('|''''|'P'|''''|','|''''|'N'|''''|')';

SELECT * FROM TXH_RPT_DETAIL WHERE RPT_SID =621;

TABLE FILE SQLOUT
PRINT *
BY SEC_CUSP_ID BY FUND_ID
WHERE FUND_CHAR IN &transac
END



P.

Hi,

I also changed the EQ into IN in the where clause

try this:
-SET &MYNVAR = '''N''' ;
-TYPE &MYNVAR
-SET &MYPVAR =  'P'  ;
-SET &MYQVAR = 'Q';
 
-SET &FILTER = 'WHERE FRED EQ ''' | &MYPVAR | ''' OR ''' | &MYQVAR | ''' ';
-TYPE &FILTER

and you'll get

 'N'
 WHERE FRED EQ 'P' OR 'Q'

triple quotes yield a single quote in dialogue manager
