I have searched the internet for the answer but I think I may have
reached the end of the internet without finding the answer



I am using STRPCCMD to display a file in the IFS



STRPCCMD PCCMD(' "\\192.168.9.999\EFILE\Rock Roll.PDF" ') Works fine
with a space between Rock Roll

I know that I have to enclose the path within double quotes since the
PDF file name contains a space





STRPCCMD PCCMD(' "\\192.168.9.999\EFILE\Rock^&Roll.PDF" ') Works fine
with an ampersand preceded by caret to display Rock&Roll.PDF

I know that the ampersand will cause STRPCCMD to think I am trying to
execute two commands so I need to precede the & with a caret ^





My trouble is when I want both a space and an ampersand between Rock
and Roll Example: Rock & Roll.PDF

STRPCCMD PCCMD(' "\\192.168.9.999\EFILE\Rock ^& Roll.PDF" ') Does
not work "\\192.1685.9.999\EFILE\Rock is not recognized as a command



What would the correct formatting be for having a space and an
ampersand in the file name?



I do not want to use the rundll32 method as it takes up too many of my
limited 123 characters constraint



I have been executing this from a command line, I wanted to get this
working on the command line before putting it into CL using variables
and concatenations etc.



Anybody know how I can do this?

STRPCCMD PCCMD(' "\\192.168.9.999\EFILE\Rock ^& Roll.PDF" ')



Thanks



John
