Hi Don ---
>If the limit is 255, would it then be possible to create a stored procedure on the back-end via odbc and pass a series of strings to build the procedure and then execute it for the proper results?
Yes. You can then run the stored procedure with SQLEXEC() and return a result cursor from the same: Here's an example:
cState="FL"
=SQLEXEC(nConnectionHandle,'sp_getstates "'+cState+'"',mycursor)
