Hi I am drilling down from a field value which has an apostrophe ['] in it.
[Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna] this is the value being passed to a global Variable &&CON.
For Example:
-SET &&CON = '&ConGrp.EVAL'
Dynamically what's being passed is:
-SET &&CON = 'Banca Popolare dell’Emilia Romagna'

It the variable fails here and report execution breaks.
Please input your suggestion, i need a help over this issue.

Try using:
-SET &&CON = &ConGrp.QUOTEDSTRING;

Don't use .EVAL if you don't need to evaluate the value of the parameter.
