It's been quite a while. I don't have Query, but as I recall, in the record
selection dialog in Query, you specify the comparison value with a leading
colon (:MYVAR). Query then thinks you will provide a value for it with a
subquery. Just provide any subquery name when prompted. It won't get used,
so the name doesn't matter. The object needn't exist. The value for :MYVAR
will be supplied by the STRQMQRY parameter.
