RE: Using quotes in a literal

Chris,

You can define a constant like this:

d apos               c         const('''')  <== (there are four apostrophe's
in there.)

or like this

d apos               c         const(x'7D')

or you could use x'7D' inline like this:

c            eval         string = 'DATFLD *EQ ' + x'7D' +
%editc(DATFLD:'X') + x'7D'

where datfld is a numeric field.

Subject: Using quotes in a literal


How would one go about using quotes in an RPG literal?  I'm trying to put
together a string which will be used to call an AS/400 command, however this
command has several quotes (') in it.  How would I escape them?
