[3.03] %query is not working.

This is the xml for my PerpDatabase class that I use to track and capture perps in Modus Operandi. It worked fairly well (but missed a few perps I saw on the street) in version 2.xx, but does not work in version 3.03.

The database variables and Perps database are being populated correctly when the triggers fire. However, none of the %query functions seem to be working. I've tried exporting the xml for the class, deleting the class and reimporting the xml for the class, with no success.
I've seen some posts recently about problems with %query, but I'm honestly not sure if they apply to this case or how to rewrite the %query functions to make them work, if that is what I need to do.
I would appreciate any help anyone can provide, including a detailed rundown of how to constuct my %query's. |

Dunno if it will fix it for you or not, but %query works for me if I put quotes around the query parameter:
| Code: |
| %query("&X=@Coords.X && &Y=@Coords.Y") |

That seems to have fixed it. Thank you, Calesta.

Yes, you have to pass string arguments to the database module stuff. That will be fixed when the database module is rewritten next year. But it's not part of the current beta cycle, sorry.
