The external single quotes are not passed in, and the first statement:

SELECT * FROM FCDX_ZONES WHERE ADDRESS CONTAINING '01-' ORDER BY ADDRESS

works fine, it is only the additional < FIRST 10 > which seems to break it,
as in:

SELECT FIRST 10 * FROM FCDX_ZONES WHERE ADDRESS CONTAINING '01-' ORDER BY
ADDRESS

The release notes show this as a valid syntax, and the rest of the query
works fine elsewhere.

TIA - Phil Stephens

your statement is delimited by single quotes and so too is your string for
containing.. this will not work

Sorry:
I get

"Dynamic SQL Error
SQL Error code = -104
Token Unknown - line 2, char 6
'
"
(the above could be ',' but it is hard to tell, it is on a line by itself)

Could you describe how the first query fails? Exception? No data? or ???
