You can use EXECUTE STATEMENT for that.

hello one and all,

i would like to write a stored procedure which looks something like:

CREATE PROCEDURE IC_INITIATE(d CHAR(3), CN CHAR(20))
RETURNS (IC CHAR(22))
AS
BEGIN
SELECT "CN" FROM TABLE WHERE (DIV = :d) INTO :IC;
...MAYBE OTHER STUFF to IC...
UPDATE TABLE SET "CN" = :IC WHERE (DIV = :d);
SUSPEND;
END

so CN is in quotes because i don't know how to pass a field/column name
as the CN parameter and then use that CN as an actual field in a table.

how can i do that? thanx in advance and merry christmas. lucas
