Corona,

Thanks for the reply.
I am sorry that you had ask it again Smilie. I thought instead of explaining the whole problem statement , it would be good if I just ask what is it that I am facing problem which is resolving parameters.

Here is the actual problem statement I am trying to solve.

I have a SQL query. This query has variables which I want to resolve at run-time.Query is itself a variable. And the parameters(variables inside it) for this Query will be assigned values just before I write the command(This command I am struggling with) to resolve the Query.

Once the Query is resolved I will put that in command line (m_db command).

During this process I have faced problem which I stated.I hope my previous post will make you sense now.

Could you please help me out with below two problems:
1. How to overcome this error : variable name too long
2. How to retain single quote character while resolving variable.
(I have given detail with example in previous post)

I am using Korn Shell.

Thanks,
Vinay
