RE: [U2] [UD] Escaping a Quote
Rats, I was hoping someone knew how to do this. The best I've been able to figure out is to use ECLTYPE 'u' (lower case the 'verb') as it uses different characters like '...' instead of '[]'. Perhaps this was just lost in the flurry... Colin -Original Message- From: Kevin King Unidata 6.1: Is there a way to escape a character in a SELECT literal? Though I can't see it in the documentation, I know you can quote with the or \ characters, but what if the literal contains both and \ characters? What then? Or what if the value contains a ^ or [ or ? that aren't to be interpreted by the query engine? ??? -Kevin --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Re: [U2] [UD] Escaping a Quote
If my memory serves me I believe you can do something like this: EQU QT = char(39) EQU DQT = char(34) then do: VAR2 = \DQT:QT:VAR1:QT:DQT\ At least something similar.

RE: [U2] [UD] Escaping a Quote
You can use single quotes in the SELECT statement. Example: SELECT FILE.NAME WITH @ID EQ '1234' will select the record with an id equal 1234 in quotes.
