Is there any way that we can handle "&" from the input strings.??
For handling any special characters , we can specializee the string using CTRAN,GETTOK.
Even for these functions, we need to find the length of the input string. So even in that case too , the string that is followed by & is treated as a variable.
So is there any way to handle it ??This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

you can say
TYPE &INPUTSTRING
This will give you the value
TYPE &INPUTSTRING.LENGTH
This will give you the length
is this what you need?

Navin You can try '&|string'.So it will not consider as variable.

CTRAN THIS: 37 TO THIS: 43 in your inbound string that changes & to +
.LENGTH is good if your inbound has no trailing blanks. otherwise ARGLEN function is a good bet.

Thanks Shobia.
Your approach worked. SO all I need to do is , after the user enters a string from the frontend , i have to replace the string which has & to &| , so that i can handle it in fex.
Susannah , the problem is that , if i am applying any functions over a string that has & , then that will upright throw an error asking for a value.
