Filter query with Apsotrophe

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by DynamicsCRMUser 18

Hello,

 

I am trying to retrieve records from CDS using a filter query. The query is failing with the "Syntax error at position 26 in 'spe_description eq 'Jame's test record' and spe_level eq 100000000 and spe_foflag eq true"

 

What is the work around to filer the records for the string which contains apostrophe?
