Javier,

Thank you for jumping in with your suggestion.

I correctly get:
R>sho v vvaluelist
'YELLOW JACKET CONSTRUCTION,
INC.','YELLOW JACKET
OILFIELD','YELLOWHOUSE
MACHINERY CO.'

For some reason, however, the choose command result vpickname yields:
R>sho v vpickname
'YELLOW JACKET CONSTRUCTION

In other words it stops at the comma and doesn’t see INC. and the EDI USI fails 
even though I changed the command to:
EDIT USING companies WHERE ('''' + company_name + '''') = .vPickName

Frustrating problem but Mike’s solution is solid so I’m happy right now.

And your suggestion will be applicable to other scenarios.

Claudine

Claudine,

Try the following:

SELECT LISTOF('''' +  your column + '''') into xxx from your_table WHERE …

All the items should have single quotes and the comma should be inside the 
quotes.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - LISTOF question 10.0.4.10913

Hello all,

My experience with LISTOF is that it automatically puts quotes around fields 
that contain commas but I’m running into a situation where it does not.

One of the fields is YELLOW JACKET CONSTRUCTION, INC., LISTOF returns the space 
plus INC. as a separate value.

However, it correctly returns 3 for the ITEMCNT variable.

What am I overlooking?

R>sho v vValueList
YELLOW JACKET CONSTRUCTION,
INC.,YELLOW JACKET
OILFIELD,YELLOWHOUSE
MACHINERY CO.
