Use tilde ~ to escape the curly braces & double quates

DISPLAY "~{~"httCust~":[]~}"

    In reality you need to escape the " as well (as you've done) but only the starting curly brace. Curly braces is the syntax for preprocessors - that's why you need them escaped... The second tilde doesn't hurt though. If you use single quotes on the outside you don't need to escape the quotes. `DISPLAY '~{"httCust":[]}'` – Jensd Nov 06 '15 at 10:25

    @Jensd documentation for progress is small to none, and the learning curve as steep as a ravine :) – madalinivascu Nov 06 '15 at 10:44
