    All

    We are doing an implementation and have run into a small issue. It has happened primarily on AP but i'm sure could happen elsewhere. When a user puts a special character like % & - etc the form and database accept it but when they are input into a DME as keys it is causing issues.

    Has anyone ran into this before and does anyone have any advice or a known solution.

    Thanks
    Michael

      Use the escape equivalent. 

      escape(variable).

      If it is hard coded lookup the ascii value and enter like such with a % sign:

      " is 34  so it would be entered as %34.  Blank is %20
