RE: Passing parms to query

There's no reason this could NOT be done, if, say, you wanted to vary the
relational operator. Just be sure to put only single apostrophes around it.
Substitution variables will put whatever you want into the statement.

Oh, BTW, be careful with strings - you'll need to work out the double
apostrophe thing. And if you run it without setting the SETVARs, it'll
prompt you - do NOT put in the extra apostrophes.

Confused yet?  :-)
