Re: Insert a string with a ' in it

I hate the double (quadruple?) quotes method. Probably because I'm
always screwing it up.

Instead, I create a field named apos defined as x'7D' which is the
apostrophe (in CCSID 37, anyway). Then, I just concatenate that field
whenever I build a command, string, or whatever that needs an apostrophe.

Probably just me, but it's more readable and, thus, understandable.
