I'm creating a PREPARE statement in my RPG program for an embedded SQL statement. I have a quotation mark field defined as:

D @Q S 4A Inz('''') Quotation Marks

I think that having @Q defined as 4A is probably not what you want, and may be causing some of the strange values you are seeing in debug. If History_Code_Manual contains "123" and is defined as 3A, and you have the statement:
QQW = 'Where (BHBHST = ' + @Q + History_Code_Manual + @Q

Assuming QQW is defined as long enough to hold the whole statment, the value of QQW will be "Where (BHBHST = ' 123' ". I think what you want is "Where (BHBHST = '123'".

The best solution, in my opinion, would be to create a quote() procedure that returns a Varying Character type containing the quoted value. Otherwise, @Q should probably be defined as a constant:
D @Q C ''''
