>Hi,

>Thanks you for quick answer but we still the same problem special with names like the following exmple:

DECLARE @L_SQLCOMM VARCHAR(8000)

SET @L_SQLCOMM = 'SELECT * FROM AMASTER where ACCTNAME = (ala'a)'

EXEC(@L_SQLCOMM

"ala'a " is Arabic name in English characters.

Why are you using EXEC? You should not be using dynamically created sql statements unless it is a last resort.

Either way, the cost you've posted has lots of errors; missing parenthesis after the EXEC() and missing quotes in your string literal.

Anyway, in your case, all you need is:

SELECT * FROM AMASTER where ACCTNAME = '(ala''a)'

notice that you simple double the single quotes to indicate a single quote within a string.

[code]
DECLARE @L_SQLCOMM VARCHAR(8000)

SET @L_SQLCOMM = 'SELECT * FROM AMASTER where ACCTNAME = ''(ala''a)'''

EXEC(@L_SQLCOMM)
