Next time search for ABL and the coding piece you need. This has been
most effective for me.

Aha!It finally worked!
Thanks Nigel.
In retrospect googling
4GL "escape character"
doesn't yield results as good as
progress "escape character"
Even then I might not have thought of the "~"" (quoted escaped double
quotation marks)

Is there an escape sequence or quotation that will let me check for the
double quotation mark?

Vantage 803.407c
I am making a Method Pre-Processing Directive to check for illegal characters at part creation (so all future parts are barcode readable). Is there an escape sequence or quotation that will let me check for the double quotation mark?

The Part.PartNum of the Changed Row Contains \"

I tried:
" [complains, but takes it, compiles, and bombs out at runtime]
\" [cannot save: Value should be in quotes]
'"' [double, enclosed in single quotation marks - compilation error]
even """ [compilation error again]
I always get errors [at different stages]

Let me know if you find an escape sequence or a workaround to check for ".

Hi Plamen,

Try: "~"" - double-quote + tilde + double-quote + double-quote

Or if you have a string of non-acceptable characters, just include the double-quote prefixed with the tilde.

HTH,

Nigel.
