What about new UnifAce-functions like

string $occprofile2sql({}}) ; Convert the current profile to a SQL-where clause
string $ucondtion2sql(\”\”{,}) ; Convert a ucondition-string to a SQL-where clause
string $uwhere2sql(\”\”{,}) ; Convert a uwhere string to a SQL-where clause ( superfluous?)

This function should convert the input to the SQL-where-clause on the default database connector or the one give by the term

A new switch for lookup
This new \”lookup/exists\” should return
* 0 if there is no row matching the profile
* 1 if there is a least on row matching the profile
The access to the database should
* use (if possible) a \”EXISTS\” clause
* not use a cursor or any other kind of hitlist

There is a need for extended precompiler directives like C++
Have a look at this site:

When defining dynamic menus, ther are four diffent types of items.
The keyords for two are not very \”well\”. A blanc in a keyword is always bad.
So allow us to use alternative keywords with undeline

keyword alt. keyword
Separators \”separator\”
Options \”option\”
Cascaded \”cascaded menu\” \”cascaded_menu\”
included \”included menu\” \”included_menu\”
