The one thing to watch for (and I don't wish to pick nits) is
presence of double quote within the data to be written. For that,
one would need special code, or to remember to escape ( \" ) the
character before the CALL.

Backslashes within the data could also spell trouble.

The data is being passed from an RPG program, and as such, it can certainly be pre-massaged with an XLATE statement to simply replace double-quotes and backslashes with something comparatively innocuous, but syntactically close enough for the problem at hand.

Anything else anybody can think of, besides those?
