I have procedure that needs to pass a string with a ' . Anyone have any idea how to do this in PL/SQL  

Here is my example:  

var a refcursor
var b varchar2(100);
begin

   :b :='and sub_account_no=''864240103''';    execute :a := pkg_reports_Dynamiccti.fu_sales_analysis('2003-05-21 00:00:00','2003-06-02 00:00:00','20','864240103','order by calldate desc',:b);
end;
/

This is giving me an error.
ERROR at line 3:
ORA-06550: line 3, column 12:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ; immediate

The symbol ";" was substituted for "" to continue.  

Thanks in advance.
