Ben,
this does not work when I introduce a few more WHEN clauses
with the error message
eppnew.sps:22: error: GET DATA: String exceeds 255 characters in length
(979 characters).
error: Error from psql source: ERROR: unterminated quoted string at or
near "'%<"
LINE 1: ...quest ILIKE '%<hello%' THEN 'hello' WHEN request
ILIKE '%<
I'll try to figure out how to pull the updated source from the master
but appreciate advice how to do that too :-)-O
