How about building a menu of keywords where the value has the \ and the label does not..

The customer populates a Regular Form with: Advanced Search, Name and Description and we have the workflow to translate the labels into names and store it in a Field via special commands: "Application-Parse-Qual-L" and "Application-Format-Qual". We use this Field (Translated Advanced Seach) in the qualification of the Table Field via External. The problem appears when they use the "Keywods". ARS translate it, and when they write "Field_1" = $NULL$ they get the error "ARERR [2294] A field or value expected at this position" . To solve that, it's necesary to use the escape character "\". With the escape character, everything works fine, but they don't want to manualy modify the Advanced Search. Is there another way to escape the keywords before ARS use them?.
