I don't believe that could work. The IN clause needs a set at prepare time.

I think you are mistaken about this, too.

I would be astonished if something like your sample above ever worked with
any SQL database. For a DSQL statement to handle parameter criteria, you
would need

select apptno from appointments
where status = :status1
or status = :status2
or status = :status3 . . .
