Re: DROP TABLE Problem

Thanks a lot for the answers. A viable solution has been shown by Art Kagel: This cannot be done in a stored procedure as a general purpose function. You cannot use the contents of a host variable in place of a tablename. You also cannot build a DELETE statement in a string an prepare it in a stored procedure. The only chance might be to build the string into a shell command to pipe the command back into another dbaccess session. Never tried it but the idea has promise. Art S. Kagel Paolo
