Print apostrophe

Former Member — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 11:34:22 GMT

Hello,

I want to print an apostrophe in a program. There is a special character that helps to recognise the character immediately after it as printable. Which is that character?

Regards,

Diana

CONSTANTS: C_APOS TYPE CHAR1 VALUE ''''. "--> Character Literal
WRITE: C_APOS.

I think you are talking about the escape character & for an apostrophe ('), the escape character is an apostrophe itself 😄

Hi,

u can use like this.

u put "" before the apostrophe.

data: LINE(20) type c.

CONCATENATE 'It''' 's Hot' into line.

write:/ LINE.

another way

WRITE:/ 'You''ll be there.'.
