That's what a view parameter is made for. Suppose you have your view defined with one parameter, vp_MyParm.
When you'll load the view, make sure to set NODATAONLOAD = .T., this will load your view with no data, and above all it will not claim for a parameter.

Now, in your code
LOCAL vp_MyParm
vp_MyParm = "MyValue"
SELECT yourView
REQUERY()

That's all there is to it.
