If you have ever tryed to enter quotes, apostrophes or other special characters on to a display screen using SDA, you may have run into some problems. If you just type them in, SDA will interpret them as SDA commands and get confused. This led me to many frustrating moments until I discovered an easy way to solve this problem.

The trick is to enter the special character as a normal character initially, and then change it to what you want afterward.

For example: To enter the line:

Enter the customer's number, then "M" to modify

First type it in like this:

'Enter the customerxs number, then xMx to modify'

Press the enter key, then go back and type over the 'x's like this:

Enter the customer's number, then "M" to modify
