Re: QMQRY issue

This is an excellent place to mention a technique someone showed us in 
these lists - maybe Buck, maybe Tom Liotta.

Anyhow, if you want an apostrophe (single quote) then put in a 
substitution variable such as &QT.

In your SELECT you would have A.TRFIDT <= &QT&NXTSAT&QT

In your SETVAR, have one that is SETVAR((QT '''') (NXTSAT &NXTSAT6A))

That assumes that TRFIDT is alpha.
