I am trying to insert a string into a table, however the  string
itself has quotes in it, so understandably when I try to apend a
string from the monitor I get an error : 

append ProcessSteps ( Station = "Sta1", Entity = "Product", StepNumber = 0.500
, Operand = "'FASSIGN("*;ExpectedOpTime",FVAL("OPERATION:OprName=Op1;%%sTime",CV
AL("*;Entity")));' " )

WARN:Jan  8 16:41:03:parser: syntax error at or near ";"

The field Operand is defined as char[100] 

Does anyone have any ideas how I can overcome this problem ?

Thanks

Ed
