---------------
If you call a Z SQL Method without argument from DTML, the arguments
are automatically collected from the REQUEST. This is the technique
that we have used so far in this chapter. It works well when you want
to query a database from a search form, but sometimes you want to
manually or programmatically query a database. Z SQL Methods can be
called with explicit arguments from DTML or Python. For example, to
query the *employee_by_id* Z SQL Method manually, the following DTML
can be used::
<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-in expr="employee_by_id(emp_id=42)">
<h1><dtml-var last>, <dtml-var first></h1>
<p><dtml-var first>'s employee id is <dtml-var emp_id>. <dtml-var
first> makes <dtml-var salary fmt=dollars-and-cents> per year.</p>
</dtml-in>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

And how do you do it if you want to call it with a dtml-var as argument instead of a fix argument.
I tried <dtml-in expr="employee_by_id(emp_id=<dtml-var bidule>)"> but it didn't work

Just try <dtml-in expr="employee_by_id(emp_id=`bidule`)">
I've spent 1 hour to find this *#%#2§!!!

or try <dtml-in expr="employee_by_id(emp_id=bidule)">
% Anonymous User - Feb. 11, 2004 10:59 am:
I tried <dtml-call expr="employee_by_id(emp_id=42)">
<dtml-var last>
But it doesnt work? I figure from reading this that it should?
