Re: Embedded apostrophe in command parameters

James,


If there is a single quote in a field/parameter you need to double it up.

lastName = 'O''Gara';

So wherever there should be a single quote, put two single quotes in
succession. A scan/replace should help with that.

I have an RPG program calling QCMDEXC with an embedded apostrophe in a

And if I call the same command, with the same parameter, from a command
line, I have the same problem. I've tried escaping the apostrophe RPG style
by doubling it, and I've tried escaping it *nix/C style, by prepending a
backslash.

Is there a way to get the command processor to accept an embedded apostrophe
within a parampeter?
