Or, if all those damn quote marks make you blind (as they do me), I stuff 'em into variables. DCL VAR(&QT) TYPE(*CHAR) LEN(1) VALUE(x'7D') That way, you can just concatinate the quote character directly into a variable: ORIGORG = &QT *cat &A5 *cat &QT Which has saved me a LOT of heartache, counting those stupid freaking quotes.
