Hi,

How to declare a constant ' (apostrophe) ? if i do it like this :

CONSTANT: APOS TYPE C VALUE '''.

it gives me an error for the "Literals that take up more than one line not permitted."

is there any excape character?

Thanks,

Shailaja

You will have to define it twice for special characters.

Use this way

CONSTANTS: APOS TYPE C VALUE ''''.

If answer helped , reward and close the thread.

Cheers.

Shailaja,

Try declaring your ' as a text element. and then calling your text element from then onwards (ie 'TEXT-001').

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Pat.
