In the Procedure Editor, when you use the old (ancient but still there) SQL commands they are not converted to ABL (as far as I know).

I argued that it did not - that it run native code and if in fact you entered a sql query, that would be converted to native code before running. Any input from the cognescenti (that I demonstrably prove) would be gratefully accepted - I could be quids/beers in here! Nigel. Stop receiving emails on this subject. Flag this post as spam/abuse.
