Literal delimiters: quotes or apostrophes

You must use either quotes (") or apostrophes (') to delimit literals in a COBOL program. You can specify the delimiter of your choice to the CICS translation process and the COBOL compiler by specifying "QUOTE" or "APOST". Make sure the APOST or QUOTE option in effect for the COBOL compiler matches that of the CICS translator.

The edit control block DXEECSC.C and the sample COBOL program DSQUXCTC.Z, as distributed by QMF, use quotes (") to delimit literals. If your installation or program uses apostrophes (') instead, you have to change DXEECSC or copy the structure to your program, changing quotes to apostrophes.
