[SOLVED] Special character in Parameter value used in WHERE

Hi Folks,

I am facing a problem with a scenario using the paramater variable in WHERE clause. The user selected value from HTML filter page will be passed to TABLE FILE where clause. If the parameter values has special character "$" (dollar) symbol, then it is not parsed to the table to fetch the value and ending up with an error
(FOC1135) INVALID KEYWORD -* SEGNAME. T_.
For example, the Porduct table has following structure
Product_Name | Product_Location
Orange London
AT&T USA
Sports$100 UK

TABLE FILE PRODUCT
PRINT *
WHERE PRODUCT_NAME EQ 'Sports$100';
END
(FOC1135) INVALID KEYWORD -* SEGNAME. T_ORA_PRODUCT.


I have tried QUOTEDSTRING option but no luck. Please let me know if anyone have tricks to handle this.

Thanks,
Karthi

Try using this setting before your TABLE FILE query. It causes wildcard characters ($ and *) in WHERE/IF clauses to be treated as text.

SET EQTEST = EXACT

? 1135

 The keyword has not been found in the parsing table, so it is not a
 documented Access File keyword for this type of Interface. Check the
 spelling of the keyword and make sure the correct delimiters are
 used. Make needed corrections.

  


Does that shed any light?

-- At least it indicates the issue (if not a red herring) lies in the synonym.

Looks like EQTEST came in in 7.7.x

Unless its undocumented its probably not in 7.6.9
