Author  Topic  patty Starting Member 3 Posts Posted - 2001-04-06 : 14:21:43 I am trying to dynamically use the ORDER BY clause depending on the radio button selected by the user. (embedded SQL) string ls_mod ls_mod = "dbo.DHTFOSCH.CREW" (or whatever depending on the radio button selection) CONNECT USING istr_report.database; SetPointer(HourGlass!) DECLARE lcur_daily_emergency CURSOR FOR SELECT yada FROM yada WHERE yada ORDER BY :ls_mod USING istr_report.database; ls_mod does contain the correct value, but the order by doesn't work. When I hard code the value, it works fine. Any ideas? Thanks.
