Why not just create a voc for it and just access it like any other file?

Subject: [U2] Escaping the '&' in Windows XP from Universe


Does anyone know how to escape the "&" in the following Basic EXECUTE
statement?

EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv
CAPTURING msg RETURNING err

Windows is choking on the "&". It thinks "HOLD" is a file in the LFC
directory.

I tried the following-

EXECUTE DOS /C DIR "UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv"
EXECUTE DOS /C DIR 'UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv'
EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&&HOLD&&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv

and a few other things, but no go.

We are on
Universe 10.1.10
Windows XP 2002

Thanks in advance.
