documentation says that sqlvar support expressions <dtml-sqlvar Variable|expr="VariableExpression"> and this works <dtml-sqlvar "'%'+arg+'%'" type=string> but documentation also says that sqltest support expressions <dtml-sqltest Variable|expr="VariableExpression"> so this should work <dtml-sqltest "'%'+arg+'%'" type=string column=arg> but it's not working ... any ideas ? thanks Martin Fekete
