Dynamic SQL View not saving default @PARn@ value

[shearerg]

Hi,

I'm trying to use a parameterised Dynamic SQL View in Personal Edition which I have working already in the Server edition. The definition tests OK in design mode, but when I save the definition the @PAR1@ entry and default value (@DATE:NOW()) is not saved. This means that when the View is browsed or specified for a report a database error results.

Am I doing something wrong? It doesn't seem likely to me that this could be a real bug, as it would have already been noticed by other users. Any advice will be appreciated.

Regards,
Greg Shearer

Hi Greg,

Dictionary functionality is not part of the personal edition. @PAR's are stored and maintained through the dictionary which is a Server edition function only.

It is a bug that you can define them.

Best regards,

Understood. Must admit the process for defining @PAR1@ did seem a little odd, as the means was not presented within the initial definition screen. Trust me to find a way
