Imbedding Special CHaracters in ESQL Statements

We are developing an application which accesses Informix 7 tables through Openlink32 ODBC drivers and we are having difficulty getting the embedded SQL to accept special character including (but not limited to) carriage returns and line feeds. An example of what we are attempting to do is below: Table Name: TEST_TABLE (int) (varchar) COL1 COL2 ------------------------------------- 12345 Hello Bill 12346 Hello Jim 12347 Hello Dave Note, that the first row has the two words seprated by a carriage return. That is why it shows up in two separate lines. This is the SQL statement we would use to create rows 2 and 3: INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE VALUES (12346, "Hello Jim") INSERT INTO TEST_TABLE VALUES (12347, "Hello Dave") WHAT SQL STATEMENT WE SHOULD USE TO CREATE ROW 1 ???
