Re: How many quotes does it need to work?

Francois,

Sorry, perhaps I wasn't clear.  I'm referring to inserting quotes into a string.  I agree with the way you've done it.

My opinion is that I prefer to read code like this:

DCL-C RMTSQL 'CALL &s/QSYS2/QCMDEXC(''&c'',&l)';

I find the above easier to read than this:

DCL-C Q '''';
DCL-C RMTSQL 'CALL &s/QSYS2/QCMDEXC(<Q>&c<Q>,&l)'

Result = %SCANRPL('<Q>': Q: RMTSQL);

Or this:

DCL-C Q '''';
Result = 'CALL &s/QSYS2/QCMDEXC(' + Q + '&c' + Q + ',&l)'

These methods of inserting quotes do not make the code more readable.  I have no problem with inserting command strings via %SCANRPL.

What do you find hard to read in plain command string define like this?
