Use string stored in variable for wildmatch

Hi

I have a wildmatch funtion which is used in multiple places within my loadscript. There are a lot of ID's being matched against so I want to store them in a variable and call them into each wildmatch so that they can all be updated easily.

So far I have:

Let $vClient='180,191,213,219,228,255,320,322';

[client]:
LOAD
clientid,
clientname
FROM [lib://qvds/client.qvd](qvd)

WHERE match(clientid,'$(vClient)');

 

This is returning me 0 rows whilst if I put the contents of the string into the match I get 16 rows.

I have tried using " instead of ' in all combinations in the variable and in the match.
