ADDPFCST requiring apostrophe's

I have a field in a file which stores directory.  I want to make sure that 
the user enters a directory which begins with either /FTP or /QSYS.LIB
Therefore I ran the following:
ADDPFCST FILE(GDWEB/FTPCOMPANY) 
         TYPE(*CHKCST) 
         CST(FTPCOMPANY_INVALIDDIRECTORY) 
         CHKCST('(substr(DIRECTORY,1,5)<>''/FTP/'')  and 
(substr(DIRECTORY,1,10)<>''/QSYS.LIB/'')')
The problem is that this will require that the user enters the 
apostrophe's into the file.  Doing that causes a problem when I actually 
go to use the field.  The directory cannot contain the apostrophe's.

How do I go about doing this?
