I always define the single quote as a constant:

DQT                      C                                   CONST('''')

and use it when I need a single quote in an expression.

C                           EVAL       sqlstmt = 'SELECT * FROM myTable
WHERE +
                                                 myAlpha = ' + QT +
alphafield + QT + ' ORDER BY something'
This method has always worked for me.


Thanks,

Mark
