All: A mystery.
In setting up an RMailx message line, this code:
SET VAR vApos = ''''
SET VAR vSYNTAX_Invitation = +
('vResult|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY Come to Bill' + .vApos + 's Party or
don' + .vApos + 't!')
... produces the desired variable string:
vResult|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY Come to Bill's Party or don't!
------------------------------
RMailX sends the message successfully. The text in the sent message is
received with a second apostrophe in both positions:
Come to Bill''s Party or don''t!
------------------------------
Running the Plugin line as an ampersand variable (thanks Buddy Walker):
SET VAR vCompleteCodeLine = ('PLUGIN RMail' & .vApos +
.vSYNTAX_Invitation + .vApos)
... produces the desired variable string:
PLUGIN RMail 'vResult|ADD_TO_MESSAGE_BODY Come to Bill's Party or
don't!'
------------------------------
RMailX sends the message successfully. The text in the sent message is
received with a <space> after the first apostrophe, while the second is
as desired:
Come to Bill' s Party or don't!
------------------------------
Just to test the "constancy" issue exposed in this last one, I ran the
above construction, substituting:
Bill' + .vApos + 's will' + .vApos + 's won' + .vApos + 't!'
... into the finished variable, producing the desired variable string:
Bill's will's won't!
... but sending as:
Bill' s will's won't!
-----------------------------
Can anyone shed light on this? I need to send highly-personalized,
time-critical emails to some interested folks, and that space makes it
look like it was done by computer! (Yeah, I know).
