    I am writing a process flow that needs to add a back slash character to a record it is writing out (the end of the record type 7 on an ACH tape Child Support Addenda record).
    Every time I try to assign the back slash character to a variable my process flow client closes ("crashes").  Any thoughts on how I can add this character to my output record?

      Try using two back slash characters "\\". In javascript the back slash is used as an escape character, so it was expecting something to appear after it. An example would be a new line character is "\n". If you use two back slashes, then it should actually put the second one in.

        You can also assign in JavaScript:
        var backslash = String.fromCharCode(92);
        Thanks for using the LawsonGuru.com forums!
