The escape syntax always seemed clumsy to me so I put a constant in our main definition /copy member that defines the constant SQ as a single quote. Then I just do: C eval string = 'this is nice, isn' + SQ + 't it?' The main definition /copy member looks like: DSQ C CONST(X'7D') so I guess you could skip the /copy and write it in hex every time - but I like the constant better :) James Rich james@eaerich.com
