but my arg1 value is {myval}, I can't seem to send {call myProc('{myval}', 'otherval')}because I get an error about the '{' character in myval.
Duh. I'm sorry, my apologies for the noise. Placing ordinary brace characters into literal strings works fine. I had a stray quotation mark in my test case and I got confused about the error message. thanks, bryan
