STPSRV_UNQUOTE2

Unmasks quotation mark characters in an input parameter

Syntax
Arguments
Details
Example

Arguments

paramname: is the character string name of the parameter.

The STPSRV_UNQUOTE2 call routine takes the name of an input parameter (or any global macro variable) and unmasks matched pairs of single or double quotation marks. The call routine does not return a value; instead it modifies the specified macro variable. This call routine can be used to selectively remove quotation marks from stored process input parameters so that they can be used in statements that require quotation mark characters.

Example

This call routine is typically called with %SYSCALL in open macro code, as follows:

   /* MYGOPTIONS is an input parameter and might contain quotation
       marks, for example: dashline='c000000000000000'x         */
   %SYSCALL STPSRV_UNQUOTE2(MYGOPTIONS);

   /* Quote characters are now interpreted as expected          */
   goptions &MYGOPTIONS;
   ...
