Hello List,
          can anyone tell me if it is possible to reference a column using
a smallint variable when using the Update statement?

eg. Update table_name Set col(smallint)=blah where rowid=blahblah

Its possible to do it when reading the contents of a table eg.
table_name.col(SmallInt), so it would seem logical to me that you should
also be able to use a similar syntax when updating a table, but this seems
to not be the case.

Obviously, the above syntax doesnt work, but is there a way to do this that
I have missed in the help files, or does somebody know of some other way
around it?

Any help, or even confirmation that it cant be done, would be appreciated.

regards,
