Im trying to pass values from forms to reports and the retarded nature of Oracle systems of course, stands in my way as usual.  Is there anyone out there that can tell me how to INCLUDE QUOTES when passing a value.... eg: The following is part of a WHERE clause

I want my SQL statement to look like this:

parameter_value = 'account_num'

Currently, it looks like this:

AND &p_use_query

So in Forms, I need to make a statement like:

:PARAMETER.p_use_query := 'table_alias.column_name = 'user_selected_value''. 

My problem is how do I include those quotes in the value being passed?  I've tried the single double single concatonation trick and that does NOT work, so please offer something that might actually help out.  Thanks.  I'm in Forms/Reports 6i.
