1897501 - Command Object with Parameter that returns data with a single quote or apostrophe in the value generates a SQL Syntax error

Symptom

Command Object with Parameter that returns data with a single quote or apostrophe in the value generates a SQL Syntax error

Environment

Crystal Reports 2008

Crystal Reports 2008 for Business One

Crystal Reports 2011 ( 4.0 )

Crystal Reports 2013 ( 4.1 )

Reproducing the Issue

Example SQL for command table:

SELECT "CUSTOMER"."CUSTOMERNAME"
FROM   "XTREME"."CUSTOMER" "CUSTOMER"
where "CUSTOMER"."CUSTOMERNAME"={?name}

Cause

Our code should escape the single quote for command table -- changing ' to '' such as 'Spokes 'N Wheels Ltd. ' to 'Spokes ''N Wheels Ltd. '

Resolution

A possible workaround is to use allow multiple values parameter, works for CR 2008 Service Pack 6. Does not work for CR 2008 SP 4 for Business One

  • Edit the Command and Parameter and check “Allows multiple Values” while creating parameter in command table.
