Opps... previous code in my message should have read...

DO NEWLY_HIRED($NEW-HIRE)

I was trying it withn an IF statement before the FROM clause. It generated an 
error here on our platform.  Can someone confirm my observation here.  Are 
there cases where "!=" will be treated as a comment?  I feel guilty about my 
first post to this thread and want to go home with a clean conscious this 
weekend.

sqr does not allow any comments between FROM and End-Select.  Therefore, !=
will not be treated as a comment.

Using != does NOT get treated as a comment in SQR.  It works as intended.

Theoretically, yes and no.

But don't use "!"

I will likely be treated as a comment in SQR.  Use <> instead.

Do the comparison operators <> and != work exactly the same?

Is there a reason for using one over the other?

Thanks,
