RE: ...along the embedded SQL path - Question and Comment

the colon identifies to the precompiler than this is a host variable. & yes it 
understand to use the contents (for input output, etc.) for processing.

Thanks,

Thanks, I had actually already done that and then somehow typed an extra 
character in the sql line.

If I might ask one additional question.... I am assuming that the : in the 
line :DEMO is to tell the sql precompiler that it is to place the value of 
the count(*) statement into that variable correct?

If you bought, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
