Whadd'ya think? Will table names ever be able to be represented as variables? Something like this could make SPL incredibly powerful for maintenance and routine tasks. Or shall we just stick with requiring an additional language (ESQL, 4GL, Shell script) to do such *complex* activities such as looping through many tables in a data base? -- Scott F.
