Randy,
 Would it be easier to RENAME the column and then create the view?

I need to put these columns into a view and the pass the view to a
report
writer, so set escape off may not help.

Did you try to set escape off and tried it..

In sqlplus 

       set escape off
        and then run your query..

or alternatively you can set escape character to something else other
than
&..

Subject: escape column name


I inherited a db with column names like:
Close Date & Time

I am having trouble querying these columns.  When I put double quotes
around
them, I get:

Enter value for time: old  17: ,"Close Date & Time"

Any help appreciated.

Randy
