   Thanks all for the suggestion .... I now recall this solution.

 Rich,

   You need to double up on the embedded quotes.  It's probably a lot
 easier to do it in a language other than CL.  RPG's %Replace() BIF
 should make it a trivial task.

   You'll also have to make sure the variable is long enough
 accommodate the additional characters.

    I'm using QCMDEXC in a CL program to call a complex command with variable
    parameters.  One of the parameters is text and may or may not contain an
    embedded apostrophe.  When it does, it is causing havoc with the call
    through QCMDEXC and that is failing.  I've tried forcing a quote character
    before and after the text string, but that does not seem to help.  I think
    I've done this before, but I can't find an example in my sand box.

    Any suggestions?

    I'm currently using the following construct when building the QCMDEXC
    string:

            'PARM(' *CAT &QUOTE *CAT &TEXT *TCAT &QUOTE *CAT ')'
