Use a constant defined as follows:

D Quote           C                   Const(X'7D')

To put the quote in line, use the + operator.  ie:

eval   thisstring = 'Don' + QUOTE + 's in deep doo-doo with deleting Dave' +
QUOTE + s files.'

Have Fun!

Subject: procedure/subroutine to quote a string with quotes

>   'Don''s in deep doo-doo with deleting Dave''s files.'
