Amanda,

If you are not happy with the '&?param' construct then consider another option which is less flexible

(1) Add a city parameter to the view's sql statement
create sql view  TheView as
select ...
 from ...
where (city.cid like ?CitySelection)

(2) 
use TheView  in 0 nodata

(3)
private CitySelection

if( !Betty )
   CitySelection= '%'
else
   CitySelection = '13'
endif

=Requery('TheView')
