AREV Specific

I am writting a symbolic field that concatenates some fields together with some text strings. I need to have both " and ' (single and double quotes) in these strings and canot figure out how to do it.

I have tried surrounding the quote characters within quotes like this (" " ") to get a single quote to output but that doesnt seem to work.

Here's a sample:

@ANS='

@ANS:="':"'":VARIABLE:"'":'"'

THIS WILL LOOK LIKE:

"'variablestuff'" .. single-double quotes mixed. The trick is to surround a double-quote with single-quotes and single-quotes with double quotes. This is almost always necessary when you are constructing R/LIST sentences .. HEADING "'F' PRINTED ON 'DS5'Page 'P'" .. this would be done: CMD:=HEADING "':"'":"PRINTED ON 'DS5':Page 'P'":'"'

For heading statements I like: X= HEADING ": QUOTE("This allows me to have newline 'L' and page 'P'")

You can also use CHAR( decimal), for quote CHAR( 34)
