It looks like it does actually work, but if you do certain things (e.g. examine the output from within MapInfo after a STOP command) the column gets blanked out. Giles Kennedy ---------- From: Kennedy, Giles To: 'MapInfo-L' Subject: MB SQL Select: using variables in Select clause Date: 25 January 1999 11:19 I'm trying to use a MapBasic variable in a select expression but I can't seem to get the MapBasic application to pass the value of the variable over to MapInfo. However it works fine from the MapBasic window. Example: Dim i As Integer i=1000 Select i + 2 From <table> If I do this from the MapBasic window I get a column called _var_+2 filled with value 1002. Fine. If I do it from a MapBasic application I get a column of the same name which is blank. Not so fine. Help! What I am trying to do is use a Select statement to find the maximum distance from a given point to all the line segments in a table.
