[Quoted] Are you sure this is the cause of the problem? The information you provide is scant, but at a guess the problem is more likely to be that the value of the global must be concatenated with the rest of the string, ie.
your_where_clause := NumPieces || ' < 500'; Set_Block_Property(Your_Block,

                   DEFAULT_WHERE,
                   your_where_clause);

                   DEFAULT_WHERE,
                   NumPieces || ' < 500');
