Do something like this. I can't really make sense of your variables and what
you're trying to achieve, but this is a start:
INSERT INTO bd_details ( pon, custnum2) SELECT pon, custnum2 FROM
master WHERE billstat like 'cv%' and pon = .vpon_entry
> I am trying to insert data into a table based on a response (vpon_entry)
> into a dialog box upon entry into a form.
>
> Not sure of how to design a insert command.
>
> set var vpon_entry text
> set var vcust_nub2 text
>
> Dialog box entry
>
> -- vpon_entry = b109562
>
> vcustnub2 = sel custnub2 from master where pon = vpon_entry
>
> -- note: trying to insert this data into bd_details based on the fact that a
> match with pon in master and where billstat in master = cv.
>
> -- The column names in bd_details are pon and custnub2
>
> insert vpon_entry vcust_nub2 into bd_details where vpon_entry = (sel pon
> from master where +
> billstat like 'cv')
>
