I don't know why the limitation is there, nor do I care, I have never hit it so far. I simply use a variable instead. I don't know the syntax for it in C (i program only in 4GL), but it is possible in C as well. To hit this limitation in isql you would have to either realy type a lot (which I would use another tool for) or have externally generated statements. There is a way around this too, but I don't remember it for sure. May be concatenation works? The operator is || (two virtical bars).
