SQL Index Object Text

I am trying to assign text to my SQL index and am having problems!

When creating a view or a table I have the "Label on" command to assign text to 
my object. 
What we do with all of our SQL created tables, views, and indexes is create a 
source member like the following:

-- *****************************************************************
-- INDEX:   INDEXI01                                                
-- FILE:    FILE                                                   
-- KEY:     ORDER BY STATUS, EFFECTIVE FLAG                         
-- RUNSQLSTM  SRCFILE(QDDSSRC) SRCMBR(INDEXI01) +                   
--             COMMIT(*NONE) NAMING(*SQL)                           
-- *****************************************************************
CREATE INDEX INDEXI01                                               
ON FILE                                                            
 (STATUS, EFFLG);                                                    
                                                                    
RENAME INDEX DIPDPI01 TO FILE_STATUS_EFFLG FOR SYSTEM NAME INDEXI01;
                                                                    
CALL $SYSCMD('CHGLF FILE(INDEXI01) WAITRCD(*NOMAX) LVLCHK(*NO)');  

--*
We then execute the RUNSQLSTM shown in the header of the member to creating the 
object. 

Because I can't do a Label on with my index, I have to assign the object text 
via CHGLF or CHGOBJD.  The problem is I can not pass a command string in my 
call that includes a quote:

CALL $SYSCMD('CHGLF FILE(INDEXI01) WAITRCD(*NOMAX) LVLCHK(*NO) TEXT('OBJECT 
TEXT')'); does not work!

I end up with: String ')         ' contains a character that is not valid.

I've tried every combination of single, double, and triple quote that I know 
around my text string.  
Leaving the quotes out all together around the text string also does not work.
I've also created an SQL function to execute instead of a call, which 
apparently is not allowed when using RUNSQLSTM.

Does anyone know how I can get text assigned to an index via an SQL member and 
the RUNSQLSTM?
