I got a problem using a parameter with quotes see URL mine application can be called with a parameter &DEPCDE=000030 or &DEPCDE=000030','000040

http:///ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIC_server=EDASERVE&IBIAPP_app=&IBIF_ex=&DEPCDE=000030','000040

This works fine when i use SQL :

SELECT DEPDSC
FROM DEPARTMENT
WHERE DEPCDE IN ( ' &DEPCDE ' )

But now the problem:

I have to give the parameter &DEPCDE filled like (&DEPCDE=000030','000040) back with a drilldown to the same application but the quotes are killing me.
How can i solf this?


TYPE=TITLE,
COLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=(DEPCDE='&DEPCDE' SORTDIRECTION='&SORTDIRECTION'),
$

I haven't tried, but I would expect that using 
&DEPCDE.QUOTEDSTRING
instead of 
'&DEPCDE'
would solve your issue.

That said, you can't call .QUOTEDSTRING on parameters with value FOC_NONE.

Hi,

I have found a solution instead of using &DEPCDE=000030','000040 i use &DEPCDE=*000030*,*000040* and with CTRAN i convert the asterisk to a apostrophe.

Hi,

Use 2 quotes instead of 1:

&DEPCDE='000030'',''000040'
