Title: SELECT Command in MapBasic

Hi All,

Simple question for Monday, can you use a variable as the column name in a SELECT command?  If so how?

I have tried:

SELECT * FROM sTABLE WHERE sLC Like sLV INTO sLT NoSelect

And my resulting table is empty, but when I run

sSQL = "SELECT * FROM " & sTABLE & " WHERE " & sLC & " Like """ & sLV & """ INTO " & sLT & " NoSelect"
Run Command sSQL

My resulting table has the correct data.

The first method doesn't create any error messages, it just doesn't work.

Any Ideas???

Cheers Ian
