I've been assigned to do some work with Oracle using PL/SQL. I'm not quite sure I understand exactly what's going on though because one of the girls I'm working with says the statement I'm trying to get fixed is just SQL, not PL/SQL. Well, of course it's SQL... it's all SQL, right?

Anyway, I know in Fox we have macro substitution. I've written several statements where I included &variable in the SQL and it worked just fine. But I can't find macro substitution in the SQL Navigator help file. And i'm hoping someone here can help me. What might it be called in other languages?

Thanks!
