How should you include apostrophes in functions and formulas?

To correctly include apostrophes in functions and formulas in NetSuite, using two single quotes is the appropriate method. This approach is based on how most programming languages and database query languages interpret character strings, especially when a quote or apostrophe is part of the string itself.

When you use two single quotes, the first quote escapes the second quote, allowing the system to process it as part of the string rather than interpreting it as the end of the string. For example, if you want to include the phrase "it's" in a formula, you would write it as "it''s." This technique ensures that the apostrophe is accurately represented in the output while maintaining the syntactic structure of the formula.

This method is commonly used in various programming and database environments, making it a standard practice for managing text that contains apostrophes.
