' Special character
The function of the single quote (') is the same as the double quote. But, if you use single and double quotes in a statement, the compiler checks the outermost quotes first, giving them precedence over the innermost quotes. For example,
DISPLAY '"test"'
shows up as"test"
, (ABL reads the double quotes literally), andDISPLAY "'test2'"
shows up as'test2'
