Hi.

To escape an apostrophe, just put an additional apostrophe.

Example:

WRITE / 'THIS LINE HAS AN APOSTROPHE '' IN IT!'.

Output

THIS LINE HAS AN APOSTROPHE ' IN IT!

Hi ,

Use | | instead. like below.

DATA(lv_new_searchstring) = |*002*|.

DATA(l_stmt) = |SELECT * | &&
|FROM factory | &&
|WHERE upper(factory_name) LIKE '{ lv_new_searchstring }' | &&
|OR upper(factory_id) LIKE '{ lv_new_searchstring }'|.
