Hi Jeff,
My usage of quote() was simply to double up on quotes,
I have not delved into the other functionality alluded to
by Jeff, and I am quite happy to accept quote() as obsolete.
eg.,
anyparm astring=ABC'PQR"XYZ
setvar qstring anyparm(!astring)
setvar qstring quote(qstring)
run prog;info="![qstring]"
==> RUN PROG;INFO="ABC''PQR""WYZ"
however, this usage is flawed since it will
double up on both single *and* double quotes
and therefore using repl() is better since it
gives the desired result.
anyparm astring=ABC'PQR"XYZ
setvar qstring anyparm(!astring)
setvar qstring repl(qstring,'"','""')
run prog;info="![qstring]"
==> RUN PROG;INFO="ABC'PQR""WYZ"
regards,
Tad.

if you don't mind me asking, what's the context that you're using the REPL
function. sounds like you wanted to double up quotes in a string, but what
Jeff Vance replied with was a completely different example.
I assume you're doing this for the purpose of some kind of SQL statement
that would require quotes around quotes????
Can you give an example?
