Thanks Peter.
That could be considered but the part I asked about was only part of
the query, In reality it had more parts to the query. Where essayWordCount is
an long integer.
$records:= ds.Parent.query (“essayWordCount >100 and parentReference_return
#null)
I have one monster query that is generated by concatenating strings to build
the query part and Objects creating the parameters passed to the query.
I have used code like you example in my parking lot function.
