We have a data value that contains an apostrophe, and when that value is selected for a drill down from a dashboard routine, an error is returned and the drill down report is not produced. I've found some discussion about QUOTEDSTRING related to apostrophes, but am not sure that it would be a fix in a drill down process. Is this an appropriate use of QUOTEDSTRING? Thank you.

Joni, yes, I think this will work for the drilldown code and the filter in the drilldown report. In your case, since it's in the data, you only need to worry about the drilldown report.

one report example:

TYPE=DATA, ACROSSCOLUMN=AMOUNT, TARGET=drilldownReport, WHEN=ACTIVITY_SORT NE '1',
FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/reports/forecast/report_dd1.fex (\
TYPE       = 'DATA' \
BUS_DTE    = '&BUS_DTE' \
PMTDATE    = PMTDATE \
BANK_ACC   = BANK_ACC \
NODE_2     = &NODE_2.QUOTEDSTRING \

another drilldown report example:

WHERE ( FUND.GROUP EQ &GROUP.QUOTEDSTRING );
WHERE ( FUND.FUND EQ &FUND.QUOTEDSTRING );
WHERE FUND.CLASS EQ &CLASS.QUOTEDSTRING ;
