SAP SQL Anywhere

Question

I encountered an error executing a CREATE PROCEDURE statement and burned it down to the following example:

create procedure CommentTest 
as 
begin
  -- a comment's text may not contain any single quotes
  select 1 from dummy
end

If I try to execute that with ISQL (Java) 11.0.1.2467 it gives me an error:

Could not execute statement.
Syntax error or access violation
SQLCODE=0, ODBC 3 State="42000"

The same statement works with the C-Version of ISQL (dbisqlc.exe).
Might I call this a bug or a feature?

Yes, single quotes are allowed inside -- comments.

There may (must?) be something else going wrong with your example... what version of SQL Anywhere are you using?

You've convinced me to stay on 11.0.1.2276 :)

Re-Edited my question to fix version info: it's really 11.0.1.2467. Same thing on another machine using 11.0.1.2376.

Are single quotes allowed in comments ?
