Re: Quick question, before I reinvent any wheels

Backslashes within the data could also spell trouble.

The data is being passed from an RPG program, and as such, it can certainly be pre-massaged with an XLATE statement to simply replace double-quotes and backslashes with something comparatively innocuous, but syntactically close enough for the problem at hand.

Anything else anybody can think of, besides those?
