hi,

I have a lengthy string defined as C(200). I need to insert that field into DB@ table using the SPUFI

The text looks like following

Text: PUT 'XXXX.ABC.FILE' into Xxxxx_file_location.txt

When i try to give the command it gives error giving -104 saying illegal symbol "."
1. How to i insert the string having combination of quotes and "." dots
2. How to use the contination if the strings is vely long.

Aside, can a moderator kindly mask the sensitive data; if the information in the text-shot is PROD/actual-customer data and someone from the TS's organization or otherwise spots it, can land the TS in deep trouble.


Edit: Kindly remove this post; it appears that TS has now edited their original post and removed the details.
