VFP 9: #define constants

I know that VFP will not perform substitutions within a string as
in
          #define SUPERLATIVE better
          sentence="Father knows SUPERLATIVE."
but is there a way to get a similar effect?

     I use SQLSEL as in
          #define SQLSEL select
          ...
          SQLSEL clcode,clname from ccli order by clcode
to differentiate between xBASE select statements and SQL select
statements.

     Occasionally, I need to build an SQL statement with a subquery in
it and would like to build the expression as in
         wherecond=;
          "&limitexpr and "+;
          "trnnbr in (SQLSEL wonbr from cwko where woccode=currwocc)"
This does not work.  I have to use "select" and make a note (so that
when I search for SQL select statements, I can find them all.

     Any ideas?

Sincerely,

Gene Wirchenko
