to be used as criteria. This is most useful when using more
than one set of values.

keyword is optional.
[WITH options]

OdxSQL Example
The AUTOFETCH setting must be set to OFF prior to using ASSIGNVALUES.
>set AUTOFETCH=OFF
The flow of calls to use ASSIGNVALUES involves a SQL select
statement with one or more $VALUES clauses in the WHERE clause,
followed by an ASSIGNVALUES statement for each $VALUES clause
in the preceding select, and then a fetch statement.
>select company, contact from customers where
state in $values(2,,,'VAL1')
>assignvalues ('CO','CA') to VAL1
>fetch all
A space is required between the ASSIGNVALUES keyword and
the value or value list.
Multiple $VALUES assignments can be used in a single select
by giving each a label.
>select company, contact from customers where
state in $values(2,,,'VAL1') and city in $values(4,,,'VAL2')
>assignvalues ('CO','CA') to VAL1
>assignvalues ('BOULDER','DENVER','LOS ANGELES','SAN
FRANCISCO') to VAL2
>fetch all

Support for the WITH options clause was added for future enhancements.
