For some reason, I cannot get this to work. I'm sure it is something simple, but my TST field is not coming back with anything. 

 COMPUTE TST/A1000 = STRREP(1000,NOTE,1,'&',3,'"&"',3,'A1000');


Here is the field that I am evaluating:
"TEST & TO SQL SERVER"

Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Don't you mean

Keep in mind that you are changing 1 char to three, so the string will get longer.

You may have issues with the 1000 chars.

I was only out length was choking it up. I knew it was something simple I was overlooking. 

 COMPUTE TST/A1000 = STRREP(1000, NOTE, 1, '&', 3, '"&"', 1000, 'A1000');


Thanks for saving the day!
