Dear Ralf, You have read the current document correctly -- the use of escapes within quoted strings was not agreed to, and therefore was not included in the change document. While I would hope that some future version would include such a feature, for the moment, you need to use the treble quotes for strings that include single quotes. I would suggest accept the CIF2 document as it now stands, and then work with towards a more complete CIF 2.1. Regards, Herbert ===================================================== Herbert J.
