Mike,
I couldn't browse the whole thread and somewhere along lines I saw you were doing something like :
where myfield = '1234' or myfield = '29929' or myfield ...

This ORing might be many and adds to complexity of SQL even if it could ran.
When I need such things I simply create a cursor and put values there, make an inner join. ie:

create cursor crsTemp (myField i)
insert into crsTemp values (1234)
insert into crsTemp values (29929)
...

select .... from myTable mt ;
inner join crsTemp lst on val(mt.Myfield) = lst.myField ...

Just my .02 cents
