This can simplify a select statement.
For example, to select a range of divisions the select statement would include ‘DIVISION = %Range(‘ *CAT &FDIV *BCAT &TDIV *CAT ‘)’

Another hint – be sure the variables concatenated into your query select string are in character format. I’ve found that OPNQRYF is a lot happier with character data in the select statement.
