Hi:

I am using WI-06.0.1.6.

Database dialect 3

In making SP's I have consistently hand to use no colon in for
example:

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE1
INTO MyVar;

I hve been engaged in an exchange with a fellow who says
that the colon IS required.

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM TABLE1
INTO :MyVar;

We exchanged metadata for sp's which support our respective
positions.

It later came to light that he is using IB 6.5.

There can't possible be such a difference between the IB OE build
from mers
and the IB 6.5 commercial version, can there?

Thanks.

Best regards
