Gerald,
I usually define a constant called QUOTE and use it with concatenation to create the command string.
Commnd = 'CALL XYZ9CL Parm(' + Quote + 'x' + quote + '000F' + quote + ' x' + quote + '00000F' + ')' + quote;
Thanks,
Marvin

Subject: passing a CL command string as a variable (a call command)
I am trying to get my group job to spawn....
my RPGLE program does:
// Commnd = CALL XYZ9CL PARM(' ' ' ' X'000F' X'00000F')
Commnd = %xlate(AP:QUOTE:Commnd) ;
// turn the single quotes to double quotes....
cmmnd = 'CHGDTAARA DTAARA(*GDA) VALUE(' + AP +
%trim(Commnd) + AP + ')' ;
#ExcCmd(%trim(cmmnd)
:%Len(%Trim(cmmnd))) ;
so when I get to my CL program that reads the *GDA, it doesn't like the double quotes...... and I can't find a way to %xlate the quotes in CLLE...
it seems like I am doing it wrong in the RPG turning the single quotes to double quotes?
any ideas???
