[Zope] dtml / zsql datatype problem

[Adam Gotheridge]

Thanks, but I still can't get it. I basically am retrieving a record from a
db (dtml-in), and when I get to a field where I need to display  as a select
box, I issue a second request to get records from another table. If I single
out the code pertaining to the select box and then set a variable manually,
I can call it like this:

<!--#call "REQUEST.set('milestoneid',45)"-->
<select name=Selmilestoneid>
<dtml-in getMilestones>
      <OPTION value='<dtml-var retmilestoneid>'><dtml-var
retmilestone_name></OPTION>
</dtml-in>
</select>

but... <dtml-in "getMilestones(milestoneid)"> doesn't work even here (I
can't add the variable argument).

There are other weird things as well. If I call the sql object as a string
like
<dtml-in "getMilestones(milestoneid='<dtml-var milestoneid>')"> and change
the sql method to accept a string, the dtml document succeeds, but oracle
returns an error about an invalid datatype. The odd thing is that when I
test the sql method with a string, '54' (with quotes), it succeeds.

Any other ideas?
