[sqr-users] how to remove a single quote from a name

["Overcashier, Patricia" <Patricia.Overcashier@aam.com>]

Hi everyone,
I select a last name and before comparing it I remove all special characters.
Thanks to all of your help, I can do that successfully.
The only character that I seem to struggle with removing is the single quote

I have the  name O'Hara
I want it to be OHara
I am using translate to remove all of the other oddities.
let $lname = translate(lower($lname),'абвзийксуцн','aaaceeenooi')

I have tried this:
        find ''' in $lname 0 #pos   My errors happen here.  I can't find the 
single quote to get rid of it.
        if #pos > 0
         let #pso2 = #pos + 1
          let $newlname = substr(lname,0,#pos)||substr($lname,#pos2)
        end-if

Thanks again,
