JCL & apostrophe

To Whom It May Concern:

I have a symbolic called RC that contains an apostrophe, but the symbolic also needs quotes surrounding it. This is causing a JCL error. I tried double apostrophe, but that doesn't work. Any ideas?????

EX:
RC='THE CHILDREN'S PLACE RETAIL STORES, INC.'

Hello,

Suggest you post a more complete example.

Symbolic parameters typically customize jcl. What is the RC used for?

Use four quotes inside the RC symbolic value and be sure the JCL also has quotes around where RC is used
//MY PROC                               
//ALLOC1  EXEC PGM=IEFBR14,PARM='&RC'   
// PEND                                 
// EXEC MY,RC='IT''''S MY LIFE'
