RDI-COBOL: Allow apostrophe for SQL literal delimiter

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

See Support Case TS003461172--PMR's are old school :-!

In the LPEX editor, SQL statements with a blank value trigger a "SQL0113 Name ' not allowed" message.

e.g.:

----------------------------
exec sql
declare SampleCursor cursor for
select Field1,
' '
from TABLE
end-exec.
----------------------------

This will result in the SQL0113 error.


Use Case:

It would be good to add an RDI preference that when selected would allow the apostrophe (single-quote mark) to be used as the delimiter for literal values. This would allow it to be consistent with shop standards.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
