Re: Quoted text when invoking program call via QSYS2.QCMDEXC?

The quote - have you tried four quotes? Think of it this way

Sql need to double quote but so do qcmdexc

Also the procedure is polymorphic so you CAN provide a length to be
backward compatible but you DON’T need to

OK, I think I'm missing something obvious ... but this is driving me crazy.

I'm trying to invoke a program call through the QCMDEXC SQL procedure.

Since the parm is in quoted text, I assume I have to double quote/escape
the quotes in the parms.

I am getting an error saying the String ') )' is invalid.

I'm running something like this:

CALL QSYS2/QCMDEXC('CALL PGM(XYZ) PARM(''ABCDEF'')')

I've tried triple quoting the parm with a different error.

What am I missing?

Thanks!
