Re: Using { and } in a string

     Try this:

         let $lbracket = '{'
         let $rbracket = '}'

         let $mystring = $lbracket || 'HELLO' || $rbracket
         show '$mystring = ' $mystring

In my SQR program I need to use the two
curly-bracket characters { and } in a string.
However, SQR is interpreting these as
delimiters for substition variables and
compiling with an error.

I've tried using two in a row, similar to how
you would place an exclamation point or
single-quote in a string, with no luck. I've
also tried using ENCODE to encode the
ASCII values (123 and 125) into my string,
again, no luck.

Can anyone offer any hints on how I would
accomplish this, if it is even possible?

Thanks,
Jeremy

for example:

let $Command = 'find /usr/jradwan -mtime +30 -exec rm {} \;'

Error on line 246:
  (SQR 4707) No value found for substitution variable: {}
