Hi, I have a ZSQL method db_sequence(name) which increments the 'id' of sequence 'name'... When run ('view') it prompts for the name, and returns a result that has the title 'id' and the next value. So far so good. Now, I want to have another db_contact() method that gets its stuff from REQUEST, which I have working, but I have been unable to get db_contact() to call db_sequence('contact_id'). I've tried various syntactic things and haven't won yet... The following is not any of the variety of things I've tried, but I hope suggests what I want: db_sequence(name) (What I have works, even if not update sequence set id = id + 1 exactly this) where name = <dtml-sqlvar name type=string> db_category(--no parameters--) insert into category (category_id, name, field...field) values ( <dtml-call db_sequence('category')>, <dtml-with REQUEST> <dtml-sqlvar name type=string>, <dtml-sqlvar ... type=string>, ... <dtml-sqlvar ... type=string> </dtml-with> ) -- Cheers, --ldl ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- LD Landis ldl@HealthPartners.Com N0YRQ Voice 612/883-5511 Fax 612/883-6363 HealthPartners, 8100 34th Avenue So, PO Box 1309, Minneapolis, MN 55440-1309 Shape your life not from your memories, but from your hopes.
