Hi,

Can someone tell me how I go about writing a query that doesnt see the '&' symbol as a substition character. The problem I have is:

         
      select replace
                   ( fnd_profile.value( 'XXBPO_URL')   
                   , '&DOCID'             
                   , ai_dfv.bpo__document_link
                   )  document_link
        from ap_invoices_all     ai
           , ap_invoices_all_dfv ai_dfv
       where 1=1
           -- where clause

The problem above is that instead of replacing the characters &DOCID with the required value, it is prompting for input.

Thanks
Joe

It has an equivalent setting but I can't remember what it is off the top of my head - have a look under preferences/options

Got this from where. pls try this

* Right click in the editor and uncheck the "Prompt for substitution variables" option.

* Menu view-->toad options: go to the "execute/compile" node and uncheck the "Prompt for substitution variables" option.
