I think you can add this to your script and it will handle any of these
special characters, including the %
In the main part of your script you will need to replace the field name
as such:
Enter SpecialCharacters(D("field name goes here"))
Function SpecialCharacters(inputText As String) As String
'group your special character codes together and run this string of code
'substitute your field name as such:
'Enter SpecialCharacters(D("field name goes here"))
Dim strOutput As String
Dim strChar As String
Dim intLoop As Integer
strOutput = Replace(inputText, "%", "%%")
strOutput = Replace(strOutput, "^", "^^")
strOutput = Replace(strOutput, "+", "++")
SpecialCharacters = strOutput
End Function

Hi:
You can use the Replace function to fix this. Just change the
D("FieldName") in the line below to the field / variable you have in
your script.
Replace(D("FieldName"), "%", "%%")
Thanks

Subject: [talkbws] My Meditech 6 isn't accepting a percent sign (%) as
part of a string of text
I'm scripting in some values in the Pharmacy Drug dictionary. Some of
the mnemonics have a percent sign in them (i.e. LIDI.5%) No matter
where the sign is in the string it just skips it. I've tried putting it
by itself in quotes, or expressing it as an ASCII character, but it
still won't cooperate. Has anyone tamed this yet?
