Drs. Memon and Luettgens:
Thank you very much for your timely "O-dark" replies.
Fortunately, in this single-user shop all my personalities agree on the
quote character.
An interesting trick ... why four marks?.
Yours truly

Additional Note:
Keep in mind that the technique and example provided below is without
mucking with the database QUOTE setting. Changing the database QUOTE
setting in a live multi-user environment should never be practiced.

Seemed simple:
Q: How does one embed a quote character [ ' ] within a text string?
For the RMailX Plugin, wanted to create a variable with the output
(within brackets): [ Come to Bill's Party! ]
SET VAR vInvitation TEXT = ('Come to Bill''s Party!')
... produces [ Come to Bill''s Party! ]
SET VAR vq = (CVAL('QUOTES'))
SET VAR vInvitation TEXT = ('Come to Bill' + .vq + 's Party!')
... produces [ Come to Bill''s Party! ]
I've tried a number of variations, with crashable results; the one
constant being an odd number of [ ' ] within the parens spoils the
party.
Bruce,
Here's a technique to address your specific situation.
A very simple example ....
SET VAR vApostrophy TEXT = ''''
SET VAR vInvitation TEXT = ('Come to Bill' + .vApostrophy & 'Party')
That should concatenate a text string as follows:
Come to Bill's Party
Note:
The variable vApostropy is a combination of four (4) single quotes.
Once you understand this technique, you can adapt this to your code.
That's all there is to it!
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
