You can do either of the following:
SET SCAN OFF before the statement
if not possible then
you could do INSERT... ('A'||'&'||'M University')...;

try inserting  ('A'||CHR(38)||'M University')

the CHR() is great for special characters.

Subject:        How to deal with special character like & in ' '


 Hi,
I want to insert a string like 'A&M University' but has problem with '&' 
  I want the database exact A&M University. But it always ask me new or old 
value because of symbol '&' how could I deal with that. Thanks.
