See the following:
  
-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-SET &CO='ENGLAND';
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY CAR
IF COUNTRY EQ '&CO'
HEADING
"Report for : &CO "
END

If I want to see the generated code, I use "View Source" in IE and this is what I see:
View Source

Notice that all special characters are shown by their ANSI or their HTML codes.
Was this always the case? Am I imagining that this wasn't the case in previous versions of WF? Is it some setting in IE that will display the characters and not the codes?

I got into a tizzy here: [CASE-CLOSED]ECHO = ALL isn't showing traces.

Danny,
I tried your repro in WF 8202 using IE and Firefox and see the following in View Source:
< !--InlineMessages URL146 2018-01-18_14.15.20.744
-SET &CO='ENGLAND';
TABLE FILE CAR
SUM SALES
BY CAR
IF COUNTRY EQ 'ENGLAND'
HEADING
"Report for : ENGLAND "
END
0 NUMBER OF RECORDS IN TABLE= 4 LINES= 3
0 HOLDING HTML FILE ON PC DISK ...

It depends, among other things, what your IE is set for. I have mine set for Notepad and it displays the ASCII equivalents as shown in your link.

It always did it that way, at least for my configuration.

Hi Danny,

I get the same as Efrem using WF 8.2.02 with Chrome 63.0.3239.

Using the same Chrome version or IE 11.0.9600 with WF 8.2.01 I get the same as you report above - escaped values for special characters.
