Re: How to save a list of programs

I have a list of programs which is generated by a 3rd party software

'program2', 'program3') sql statement used by the vendor software.

Basically I want to use that same WHERE IN ('program1', 'program2',
'program3') statement within a custom RPG program. I'm planning to
PREPARE an sql CURSOR and add the WHERE IN (:myprogramList).

But I can't figure out how to save the list as one big string. Does
anyone know how I can save ('program1', 'program2', 'program3') as one
big string?

The problem I'm experiencing (I think) is that the quotes are
interpreted as string delimiters. I was trying with a data area and a
one column table but both had the same issue. Any ideas?

Can you share the code that you're currently using? I almost wrote a
big thing about escaping quotes, but I don't want to assume anything...
