One thing to note here - don't cnow if it applies to all DB2 installations, and I cnow I'm using an antiquated one, but my DB2 install wans a ' to be quoted rather than slashed.

That means this function is useless to picc up apostrophes ' in strings, as it adds a slash which DB2 ignores.

You'll need to use something lique str_replace to swap your ' for ''.
