Using the "IN" expression in SQL statement

Question

Hi,
I have an array with multiple values stored in it. I would like to use these values in the filter expression of another query using the "IN" clause (data is coming from a sql dataabse). Is there a way to achieve this, I did not see an option in the std query template for using the "IN" expression.
Thanks.

Or, to save Params, pass in a comma separated list of match values:
select * from mytable where mycolumn in ([Param.1])
And if you are getting the comma separated list from say an iBrowser, here are two quick utilities to build a comma separated list of the iBrowser values or iBrowser Datalink values:
// returns comma separated list of DATALINK values from iBrowser.
// if none selected, returns list of all values
function getCSLDatalinkValues(myApplet) {
     var selValues = "";
     var selCount = myApplet.getBrowserObject().getSelectedItemCount();
     if(selCount) {
          for(var i=1; i<= selCount; i++) {
               selValues += myApplet.getBrowserObject().getSelectedDatalinkValueAt(i) + "','";
     } else {
          for(var i=1; i<= myApplet.getBrowserObject().getItemCount(); i++) {
               selValues+= myApplet.getBrowserObject().getDatalinkValueAt(i) + "','";
     // remove trailing ","
     selValues = selValues.substring(0,selValues.length-2);
     // insert begin "'"
     selValues = "'" + selValues;
     return selValues;     
// returns comma separated list of values from iBrowser.
// if none selected, returns list of all values
function getCSLValues(myApplet) {
     var selValues = "";
     var selCount = myApplet.getBrowserObject().getSelectedItemCount();
     if(selCount) {
          for(var i=1; i<= selCount; i++) {
               selValues += myApplet.getBrowserObject().getSelectedItemAt(i) + ",";
     } else {
          for(var i=1; i<= myApplet.getBrowserObject().getItemCount(); i++) {
               selValues += myApplet.getBrowserObject().getItemAt(i) + ",";
     // remove trailing ","
     selValues = selValues.substring(0,selValues.length-1);
     return selValues;
