Hi all,

I need to setup a report version for a field whose value actually contains "&"…

Eg:

TABLE FILE TEST
PRINT *
WHERE FIELDA EQ 'AA&BB';
END
-RUN

Program fails with:

(FOC295) A VALUE IS MISSING FOR: &BB

I have tried putting the value into a &var, and using EVAL, but it still fails.

Is there a way to ignore the &er for this line of code?

Thanks

Mark
