Sorry to post my own response but after I sent the
question I further searched the archives  and
Mike Byerly's post from 6 March last year set
me on the path to salvation.   I wound up with:

   SET VAR vKidList TEXT = ('(' + (CTXT(.vKidList)) + ')')
   INSERT INTO TempPersonNewBatch +
     (Surname,Salutatn,ParentGuardian,DOB, +
     HireEnqID,PersonID,Sex,CheckValue, +
     PersNumb,PoGPersonID) +
     SELECT +
     Surname,Salutatn,'Y',DOB, +
     .vHireEnqID,PersonID,Sex,'Y', +
     .vUserID,.vPersonID +
     FROM Persons +
     WHERE PersonID IN &vKidList


Thanks Mike!
