if you only need SELECT SQL statements and not full-blown programs then it is not a problem
you can create the SQL statement as a string and use macro substitution to run it

lcSQL="SELECT * from somefile"
&lcSQL

>That's not good news. Any Suggestions? I need to allow users to create querys through an interface, then build it programatically. They need to run the query and also save them and edit them later. I guess I could load all the parameters to a table and build the select SQL statement as an expression on the fly...
