Well - you can't pass it to "where" - but you can make "andWhere" a
"cObject" instead ...

andWhere.cObject = TEXT
andWhere.cObject {
field = uid
wrap = deleted=0 AND hidden=0 AND uid=|
}

or you could even make it a COA and fill in different values:

andWhere.cObject = COA
andWhere.cObject {
10 = TEXT
10.value = deleted=0 AND hidden=0
20 = TEXT
20.field = uid
20.noTrimWrap = | AND uid=||
30 = TEXT
30.field = whatever
30.noTrimWrap = | AND whatever=||
}

You need the "noTrimWrap" here to preserve the spaces so that it will give
you
deleted=0 AND hidden=0 AND uid=uid AND whatever=whatever
in one line.

Have a look at stdWrap in TSref. This will open the door to lots of
possibilities for you.
Or even better: Try ObTS (Object oriented TS) which will open a stargate to
another TS galaxy ;-)
