Oracle Forms

Scenario: Trying to call a form from the right-click context menu of any windows file via windows explorer and pass the form the filepath of that file. The form has a user-defined form parameter (:parameter.filepath) that expects that filepath.

Problem: eveything is working and am in testing phase and have found that a single quote in the filename/path being passed to the form cause the ifrun60.exe to display the error "frm-90928: position paramter after key on commandline".

Reason for problem: it is clear that this error occurs only when there is a single quote " ' " in the command line as below where the %1 is, for example, "john's leave.xls".

c:\orant\bin\ifrun60.exe module=test.fmx userid=whatever@whereever usesdi=yes FILEPATH="%1"

I understand that this is a result of the fact that the executable treats single quotes as string starters/termintators. I therefore need to dynamically specify to the commandline to ESCAPE single quotes....anyone have any idea how to do this - ideally this would not involve calling a BAT file (for other reasons).

any input would be appreciated. many thanks in advance.
