Hi All:

I have a table - Test - that contains 4 records, as follows:
Code    Desc
111     Dog
222     Cat
333     Elephant
444     Fish
I want to give the user the ability to query on a variable number of code or 'ALL' the codes.

In the following example, she has picked '111' and '222', so I constructed an array in the calling program with a length of 2. If she would have requested '111', '222', and '444', I would have had to construct an array of 3 members and some figured out how to accommodate
the third member in my SQL syntax. If she requests all, then I need to set one of the members to ‘’ and since everything is equal to ‘’, all for records will be returned.

Isn’t there a more elegant way to do this?
LPARAMETERS taCodeList
* taCodeList[1] = '111'
* taCodeList[2] = '222'

SELECT Test.code, Test.Desc ;
 FROM Test ;
   WHERE Test.code IN(taCodeList[1],taCodeList[2]) ;
   INTO CURSOR result
Thanx,

Yossi
