G'day C,

Thanks for your reply.

I came up with a work around by making all statements that use the new syntax into stored procedures and calling them using esql/gpre in the normal manner.

I might take this over to firebird-architect as it is probably off-topic here, but I would like to see if it could be possible to make gpre use the same parser as the engine? (I am offering my assistance to make this happen - if it is not beyond my ability)

Is QLI used anymore?

Regards
