Betreff: RE: Eval variable = long text

All, I cannot resolve this apparently 'simple' issue.

If I copy and paste Peter's example,
I get the compile error :
*RNF0267 Character literal has missing trailing apostrophe; trailing
apostrophe assumed.

If I add a fourth apostrophe :
MyVar = 'This is a sentence of around ' +
'130 characters containing ' +
'apostrophes an''''all';

It compiles but prints : This is a sentence of around 130 characters
containing apostrophes an''all

MyVar = 'This is a sentence of around ' +
'130 characters containing ' +
'apostrophes an'''all';
/end-free

HTH,
