I'm just beginning to use window4gl in INGRES V6.3 and I am wondering
how to built a flexible query. How can I use comparison operators, entered by
some user into a field on the form to built up my query statement. Neither
of the both mechanisms I know works:
1. ESQL: Create the select in an character variable.
Declare this a cursor.
2. ABF/OSQ: Use the less flexible 'qualification' part in the where
clause of your statement.
All I find in the manuals and examples looks as if one can't use either of
these features in window4gl (maybe it is just that I read the manuals not
carefulely enough ?!)
Could it be, that I can just use hard-coded where-clauses in window4gl?
Thank you in advance,

PS: I would have phoned the hotline in germany/Frankfurt, but this is totally
impossible since the line is always busy. They seem to be close to the
total collapse - but this should not be my problem! I am getting
somewhat angry about that 'hotline', and I would like to know if sombody
out there has got similar problems with it?
