* using EXECUTE on Selects

Hi,
Here is my need:
I have to select data by building up the where clause:
example: WHERE firm = 'nnn'
WHERE firm = 'nnn' AND symbol = 'bbb'
WHERE date BETWEEN 'startdate' AND 'enddate' AND symbol = 'bbb'
And so on.
I was hoping to write a function where I can build up my where clause
(dynamic sql) and use the EXECUTE command with it. But I just read that
the SELECT INTO has not been implemented for use with EXECUTE.
Is there a way to select data using EXECUTE?
Thanks.
Radhika

You missed the opening sentence of the previous paragraph:
The INTO clause specifies where the results of a SELECT
command should be assigned.

You can use "execute sql into foo;" with sql your dynamic sql and foo
your variable to store the result.

Thanks! That worked. I really could'nt make sense of the documentation,
the way it was worded. I tested it out and it works.
Thanks again!
