Hi everyone,

I am trying to pass a string ('123','3456','XDFG','XDFT') to a macro similar to the one below

     creata macro test( startd date, endd date, group_ids as varchar (50) )
     as (
     insert into tbl_a
     sel * from tbl_z where
     group_id_field in ( :group_ids )
     and date_field between :startd and :endd
     ););

when I execute

     "exec test ( ('2006-01-01'),('2006-01-31'), ('123','3456','XDFG','XDFT')
     );"

it gives me a syntax error 3707 expected something like ')' between a string and ','. I know that its not taking the set of group id because it thinks there is another parameter that I am passing but what is the solution to this problem.

Any advise is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Joseph
