OK, forgive my reformatting of your SQL, I just find using TEXT END and
laying out the SQL this way is much clearer and easier to make changes.

I'd offer a quick comment that the semicolons are not necessary if you use
the PRETEXT 15 clause, plus you're that much more ready and not having to
rewrite this code if you send it against a remote RDBMS server.


As long as your final SQL statement is not longer than 255 characters, then
the PRETEXT 15 is OK.


To clarify--I was saying he should use the PRETEXT 15
