Problem with loop and reading from Active Directory

Hi,

i want to read the e-mail adresses from Active Directory. The connection works good, when i type a person name and surname it gives me his/her e-mail adress. But i have a problem with a loop which gets the name and surname from excel and then asks the active direcotry for e-mail.

My loop looks like this:

LET rowTextMail = NoOfRows('PM');

for i=1 to rowTextMail

         let firstName = chr(39)&'%'&mid(FieldValue('op_name_pm',$(i)), 1, Index(FieldValue('op_name_pm',$(i)), ' '))&'%'&chr(39);

         let surName   = chr(39)&'%'&mid(FieldValue('op_name_pm',$(i)), Index(FieldValue('op_name_pm',$(i)), ' ')+1)&'%'&chr(39) ; 

           

ADReportPM:

    LOAD

        userPrincipalName as mail_pm,

        sn as sn_pm

    ;

    SQL select

        userPrincipalName, sn, givenName

        FROM 'LDAP://xxxxxxx'  WHERE sn=$(surName) AND givenName=$(firstName);

    next

I've checked and firstName and surName give me perfect name and surname, but when i loop i get nothing.

But when i type:

FROM 'LDAP://xxxxxxx'  WHERE sn='Nowak' AND givenName='Piotr';

it works...

Where is the problem? I've tried diffrent types of passing the variables: WHERE sn='$(surName)' AND givenName='$(firstName)'; but none of them worked...
