Hi I'm trying to escape the single quote character in my string but for some reason it's not working... Here is a small piece of my code...
-SET &MYHEAD='can\'t';
TABLE FILE METRICS_METRICS_EVENT
HEADING
"bleh: &MYHEAD "
PRINT
.....

There error I get is:
0 ERROR AT OR NEAR LINE 25 IN PROCEDURE _ADHOCRQFOCEXEC *
(FOC257) MISSING QUOTE MARKS: 'can\'t'; B' THEN GO


Thanks for your help...

-Daniel.,
