Hi, all.

I hope my question isn't too obscure to understand. I know what I need, I'm just not sure I'll frame the question correctly.

I need to determine, from within a program, whether a view is parameterized. More to the point, I need to determine: (1) the list of parameters, (2) the types of parameters and (3) which operator is used with the parameter.

It doesn't appear that DBGETPROP(cName, 'View', 'ParameterList') will give me what I need if the parameters are only "defined" in the filter/where, as opposed to being listed in the "View Parameters".

But, I'm willing to compromise if there is another solution. :) I'm really only wanting to take views offline, and using CREATEOFFLINE() prompts me with the parameters. Since I'm trying to make this whole routine generic, I won't know in advance what views are present, which views are parameterized nor what the parameters are asking for.

So, I either want to determine what parameters are required by the views, so that I can create them, open the view and not have the user fuss with the prompt. Or, I need to be able to somehow use CREATEOFFLINE() without being prompted for the parameters.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

-Bri.
