Or you change any apostrophes in the string to a different character that you know won't be in the data (underscore, hash, whatever). That only works if you know a character that won't be in the data. It buys you the ability to not worry about the extra characters.

Rich,

You need to double up on the embedded quotes. It's probably a lot
easier to do it in a language other than CL. RPG's %Replace() BIF
should make it a trivial task.

You'll also have to make sure the variable is long enough
accommodate the additional characters.

I'm using QCMDEXC in a CL program to call a complex command with variable
parameters. One of the parameters is text and may or may not contain an
embedded apostrophe. When it does, it is causing havoc with the call
through QCMDEXC and that is failing. I've tried forcing a quote character
before and after the text string, but that does not seem to help. I think
I've done this before, but I can't find an example in my sand box.

Any suggestions?

I'm currently using the following construct when building the QCMDEXC
string:

'PARM(' *CAT&QUOTE *CAT&TEXT *TCAT&QUOTE *CAT ')'
