RE: OPNQRYF question

["Smith, Nelson" <NSmith@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Peter
  We are using the *CT as below.  It is the single and double quotes we are
having problems with.  We are scanning for text with and embedded double
quote (like for 5",  for 5 inches).   When we use the " in the search
string, the qryslt parameter thinks it is the end of the parm.    We have
tried all sorts of combinations of single and double quotes before and after
the text string with no luck.

In the parm below, right after the *CT, is that three double quotes?
