We're using Unidata, but one way we would do it, would be:
EXECUTE "!DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv"

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.
