Setting Parameters for Visual Queries
Procedure
The parameters of visual queries can be set in order to formulate selection criteria. To do this, insert square brackets where the selection criterion of a visual query has to be variable. A prompt can be formulated between square brackets and then appears in the dialog box in which the text for the variable character of the visual query is entered.
Several sets of parameters can be entered for each visual query and will be retained when storing the visual query.
If you have selected the column
=[order number:]
If you want to compare a CHAR column with a parameter, the parameters must also be enclosed by quotation marks:
= '[Name:]'
