Passing Quoted String to Focexec in Stylesheet (Drilldown)

I have a focexec that is run using a launch html. The html passes a variable to the focexec using multi-select list box. This variable is used in a WHERE statement. Due to multi-select option, the value(s) passed by the HTML is already enclosed in quotes. So the WHERE clause & var is not enclosed in quotes.

Now, I want to use the same focexec in a drilldown from another focexec. I'm trying to pass the required parameter but I couldn't figure out how to pass it with quotes.
Here's the stylesheet code:
TYPE=DATA,
     COLUMN=RNAME,
	 FOCEXEC=DTIME(VNAME=RNAME CDISP='YES' PRD=PRD_FINISH FMT='HTML'),
	 TARGET='_blank',
$


I tried using 
''' |RNAME| '''

both as a define or directly into VNAME= and it doesn't work.

can you do an edit on it once it is recieved?

since you're using it in your where clause, could you just concatenate the ' on?

Anatess,
In your focexec you have a statement in the form:
WHERE FIELD EQ &VNAME
&VNAME has quotes in it
Now you want to drill-down to this focexec using FOCEXEC=DTIME(VNAME=RNAME ...

Before your WHERE you can have the following
-SET &Q='''';
-SET &VNAME=IF &VNAME CONTAINS &Q THEN &VNAME ELSE '''' || &VNAME || '''';

Solution is already posted - you have to use ctran to encode and decode arguments that contain quotes. Search on this and you will find more.
