Do it like this:

SBMJOB CMD(CALL (APB110) PARM('0000005005' 'VINTOH''S')) JOB( RESEND ) OUTQ(*JOBD)

NO only two parameters will be used , second parameter is a alphanumeric
so if the parameter contain an apostrophe(‘) then it boms

SBMJOB CMD(CALL (APB110) PARM('parm1' 'parm2')) JOB( RESEND ) OUTQ(*JOBD)

I believe that is would be like:

SBMJOB CMD(CALL (APB110) PARM('parm1' 'parm'''2')) JOB( RESEND ) OUTQ(*JOBD)

Otherwise, you're going to need to do a var assigment:

Parm2 = 'FastOne'''s'
SBMJOB CMD(CALL (APB110) PARM('parm1' &Parm2)) JOB( RESEND ) OUTQ(*JOBD)

That is only two parameters. The way you represent the delimiter character within a delimited string is by doubling it. If a string is delimited by single quotes in CL, and you want to have a value that includes a single quote, you mst double up on the single quote character. The system reads this as only one quote.

You'll see this in other languages as well. Not just CL.
