Preventing REXX From Parsing a Statement Incorrectly

To prevent REXX from parsing a statement incorrectly:

• Surround your requests for CA Automation Point command processors (and any other text that should not be parsed) with double quotation marks (").
• If text to be sent to CA Automation Point contains embedded double quotation marks, use single quotation marks (') to enclose that text.

  For example, because logical operations that you want to send to the host session are always enclosed in double quotes, enclose the entire command string in single quotes, as shown in this example:

  'SESSCMD /@"POWER_RESET"/ SESSION(sessname)'
