Sanitize Input for UniData

Can anyone provide a function to sanitize input for a UniData query? Or provide a list of things to remove?

Solution

  • Here's a list of characters reserved by UniQuery:

     " double quote
 ' apostrophe (single quote)
 / forward slash
 [ left square bracket
 \ back slash
 ] right square bracket
 ^ caret

    You can write a quick function that takes a string, does a SWAP for each of these characters--you can swap with the ISO 8859-1 decimal code (e.g., ] for ])--and returns the sanatized string.
