Local fix

Problem summary


    

  • In the RDz BMS Map editor when creating a Label with an Initial
Value that contains a double quote, the Source is incorrectly
updated to include two double quotes.

    



Problem conclusion


    

  • The RDz BMS Map editor contains special handling for single
quotes and ampersands, but erroneously contained similar special
handling for double quotes as well.

The special handling was put in place to assist users with the
following CICS TS requirement regarding special characters
within initial values for BMS labels: Surround initial values by
single quote marks. If you need a single quote within your text,
use two successive single quotes (the assembler removes the
extra one). Ampersands also have special significance to the
assembler, and you use the same technique: use two ampersands
where you want one, and the assembler removes the extra.
