    <title>topic Source Lookup with a special character: # in App Development</title>

    <description>&lt;P&gt;Hi,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am using source_lookup on iSeries database to fetch data from other table. However, the columns contain special characters such as #. The following is a simple source_lookup that is failing to execute:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;source_lookup(10000,'SCHEMA','TABLE','COLUMN_NAME','RQMEM#=?',$EMLMEM#)&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The Parse expression fails to recognize the # character as a string. I have tried the below as well:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN&gt;source_lookup(10000,'SCHEMA','TABLE','COLUMN_NAME',&lt;/SPAN&gt;'RQMEM#=?',$EMLMEM AND CHR(35)) and get this error "no such function CHR". &lt;LI-PRODUCT title="Qlik Replicate" id="qlikReplicate"&gt;&lt;/LI-PRODUCT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Kindly advise.&lt;/P&gt;</description>
