Luis, That is not quite correct.
You can use double quotes or the apostrophe as long as they are paired. If you start a literal with an apostrophe, you must end the literal with an apostrophe. If you start it with the double quote character, then you must end it with a double quote character: say "Isn't that correct" say 'These are both "correct" ways to use delimiters on literals' Both of the above statements will execute just fine.

If so, remove them. Next, your first "say" needs an apostrophe at the end of the line and if the second line is a continuation, then you also need a comma on the first line and another apostrophe to open the literal on the second line: say 'Este programa informa em que dia da semana foi ou sera o Natal', 'em determinado ano, que ano quer saber ?' pull year chuck ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
