Last updated on DECEMBER 22, 2023

Applies to:

BI Publisher (formerly XML Publisher) - Version 10.1.3.4.1 to 10.1.3.4.1 [Release 10.1]
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

Using BI Publisher Enterprise 10.1.3.4.1.

A report is being bursted through email.
When the body of the email text has an apostrophe in the bursting control file, the actual email output has
the escape character "'" instead of the apostrophe punctuation.

For example

select distinct
 a.<KEY> KEY,
 'default' TEMPLATE,
 'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
 'en-US' LOCALE,
 'HTML' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
 'EMAIL' DEL_CHANNEL,
 '<mycompany>' PARAMETER1,
 '' PARAMETER2,
 '<myemail@mycompany>'PARAMETER3,
 '<title>' PARAMETER4,
 'Hi ' || P.FIRST_NAME || ' ' || P.LAST_NAME || ' Please find attached your
 student list with student's information.' PARAMETER5,
 'true' PARAMETER6,
 '<mycompany>' PARAMETER7
 from <table>

The word student's from the subject of the email would be seen as student&apos;s  in the actual email.
