RE: [Arsperl-users] question regarding the query() method

[Richard H. <rl...@ls...>]

Folks,

	There's a nice way to prevent the "sea" of backslashing and excess
quotes, namely to use Perl's "q" and "qq" operators. For example, Kelly's
definition of $qualString could be written:

my $qualString = q{
'Status' = 0 OR 'Completed Date' = $NULL$ OR 'Completed Date' ....
};

Doing this allows you to cut n paste queries you've tried out in the Remedy
GUI straight into your Perl code.

Cheers,

Richard.

Here's a code snippet of mine:
-------------------------------
my $qualString = '\'Status\' = 0 OR \'Completed Date\' = $NULL$ OR
\'Completed Date\' > $TIMESTAMP$ - (32*24*60*60)';
