You're right. I don't normally think about registry scripts since I almost never
use them. I was thinking he was doing that at the top of a module such that it
was happening at compile time. But even then my advice wasn't that helpful since
the assignment would still only happen at compile time.

Yeah, I'm starting to think the same thing. Brian, why don't you print the value
of the param to the log ("warn" is good for this) for the request (along with
the SQL that you're generating) so you/we can see what the actual value being
pulled it.
