For example: The problem with the above is that if customer.name contains an apostrophe or backslash, you could have problems with the way that JavaScript will interpret it. Backslash is a control character PHP language has a function called JSON-Encode() that will just return the JSON representation of a variable. I know ABL has some ways to turn temp-tables or datasets into JSON, but is there a simple way to do this with the ABL for a character variable? e.g.: I have rolled my own types of functions for this over the years, but just wondered if there was a better way.
