Robert,

Suggestion #2 below fixed the issue!

I had tried replacing the quotes with <@SQ> which had not worked, 
interestingly. You are right that this is CustomSQL, though, and oddly enough I 
did not even see the Automatic SQL encoding checkbox. Too many years of working 
with the old Witango 5.5 client, I think. No need to use it, however. Using the 
new @VAR feature did the trick.

I greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!

Erik
