V6R1
I have a file containing names that have an apostrophe in them (Dave's,
O'Neils..etc). I need to be able to select these records using LIKE in the
WHERE section. I have tried using double quotes (") to surround the search
value (WHERE XXNAME LIKE "%DAVE'S%", but SQL treats the value as a field
name and cant find it.

All suggestions appreciated.

Thanks,
