please correct me if i am wrong


	l_where:='CUST_PO_NUMBER ='||''' :CONTROL_BLK.PO_NUMBER''';



cust_po_number is a varchar column....so i am trying to
build the where clause here.....i know for sure that
one single quote should be replaced by three if we want
to include a varchar colunmn..so is the above condition
valid one?

Why not simply
l_where := 'CUST_PO_NUMBER = ' || :CONTROL_BLK.PO_NUMBER;

Dear Littlefoot,

I Think your code will not work as CUST_PO_NUMBER is a varchar datatype

Huh, right ... I didn't read the question carefully enough. I apologize.

Here's how it is to be done: in order to check whether you've done it correctly or not, create a display item which will be used to show variable value (check the attached FMB file, based on Scott's schema), or display it using the MESSAGE built-in.

Shortly:
l_where := 'CUST_PO_NUMBER = ''' || :CONTROL_BLK.PO_NUMBER || '''';
