DCL symbols

robert70 — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:47:30 GMT

I am trying to setup a symbol called IFTP
which I want to function as follows

FTP test.site.com /user="test"/password="test"

However when I do a

IFTP :==
FTP test.site.com /user="test"/password="test"

I get the symbol IFTP but without the "" thus causing the connection a failure

Any help please?

IFTP == "FTP test.site.com /user=""test""/password=""test"""

Hi Rob,
These are always fun. Try,

IFTP == "FTP test.site.com /User="""test""" /Pass="""test""""

i.e. each internal " must be included in ", so
" -> """
