Unfortunately, this expectation is wrong.

Z SQL Methods have a signature different from DTML Objects.

Two notes:

  *  apparently, you too, belong to the people that do not
     read my responses casefully.

     I told you how to work around the problem; didn't I?

     To repeat it:
     
       pass "''" (empty strings) for arguments you want
       not to be acquired and ignored by "dtml-sqltest ... optional".
       This should work for all types different from "string".

     If you do not read my messages, I will start not to read
     your questions ;-)

  *  It is very easy to define your own variant of
     Z SQL Methods (using inheritance) -- with a behaviour
     you like.

     Look at "CCSQLMethods" for an example.
