RE: Query

YAY!!!  That's it!!!  Thank you so very much Buck.  Now, when IBM calls
me back again with their next suggestion (it's been about three days now
and they've suggested a few different things that didn't work) I will
tell them to give you a call and you can 'splain it to them.

THANK YOU
   =)

Roger,

I think the quotes are the problem.  You have a numeric column in your
table
(PDDOCO) and you're comparing it to a character literal ('00001438')
Try
dropping the quotes from your numeric parameter and passing a string
that
just contains the digits, not the quotes: CHGVAR &DOCO &PSOPT1  Think of
how
it looks to the parsing engine: WHERE 1438 = '00001438'  That's how I
tend
to get them straight (mostly!)
