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
