Re: SEU Editor error

Rishi, I think there's a misunderstanding of terminology regarding the 
term "quotes". Birgitta told you that you have to "double the quotes" 
not use "double quotes".  Let me try to explain.  Let's start with using 
less ambiguous terms, like this:

   ' = apostrophe (also called a single quote)
  " = quotation mark (sometimes called a double quote)

In some languages you interchange these, but in RPG, they are very 
specific in their purpose.  The apostrophe is the ONLY string delimiter; 
quotation marks are just another character, like a comma or an at-sign.  
In order to create a string with an apostrophe in it, you have to define 
two apostrophes in a row.  So:

  ' ' = a string of one blank
  'abc' = a string of abc
  '"' = a string with a single quotation mark
  "'" = an invalid string (a quotation mark is not a string delimiter)

and here's the tricky one:

  '''' = a string with a single apostrophe!!

Let's look at a couple more examples:

  'can''t' = a string of can't
  'can"t' = a string of can"t
  "can't" = an invalid string

I hope this helps a little.
