  I would like to pass in data that contains Apostrophe (') characters to execute a Stored Procedure.  An example that I want to pass the data O'Brien to a stored procedure (ex. execute LOOKUP 'MR_MEMBER' 'O'Brien').  Any ideas how to get around this?

  You can replace the apostrophe with two apostrophes in the front end, but the better solution is to use a parameterized command object.

  You could use something like this:

  execute LOOKUP 'MR_MEMBER' 'O' + char(39) + 'Brien'

   

  Just a thought.
