RE: String value with an apostrophe ( ' )

The RPG IV Reference (V5R1) Chapter 8, "Defining Data and Prototypes",
Constants, Literals, Character literals has this to say:

"Character literals must be enclosed in apostrophes (').
 An apostrophe required as part of a literal is represented 
 by two apostrophes.
 For example, the literal O'CLOCK is coded as 'O''CLOCK'."
