It's that building up of a string with quote unquote + Quote Unquote that I
want to avoid. Drives me crazy.

I would doubt the overhead could even be measured accurately.

Oops, typo ... should be:
Cmd = 'Select ' + Q + 'Bob' + Q + From FileX Where Field1 = ' + Q + X + Q

I prefer something like this:

dcl-c Q '''';

dcl-s Cmd VarChar(1000);

Cmd = 'Select ' + Q + 'Bob' + Q + From FileX Where Field1 = ' + Q + X + Q';

This accomplishes the same thing in one step, with no overhead at run-time
for the "scanrpl" operation.
