Anthony,
 
If you want to use the double-quote as included text in a character
field you can use 4 double-quotes ("""") or set a temp field to 4
double-quotes and then reference this field in your Set Fields.  I use
the temp field method frequently when working with building commands for
$PROCESS $.

Related note: If you want/need to insert other characters that are not
printable you can use your DBMS to return the character in a Set Fields
SQL command.  For example (SQL Server),  SELECT CHAR(9)  returns the tab
character and stores it in a temp field on your form.

If you want to find out the numeric value of a character you can use
SELECT ASCII('a')  In this example the numeric value of the letter 'a'
is 97.

HTH

Stephen

        Hi all,
        
        I have a question regarding set fields - how do you get it to
print a " 
        character in the field. Usually in most languages you would use
something
        like /" to print special characters, but i can find anything in
remedy
        docs...
        
        Any ideas?
        Thanks all
