Switch Rule and Ampersand

I created a switch rule so that the text field "Division" will change depending on what text is in text field "Function".

switch (Field("Function"))

{

case "A & B PRODUCTS":

return "DIVISION OF A & B COMPANIES, INC.";

case "A B PRODUCTS":

return "DIVISION OF A & B COMPANIES, INC.";

default:

return "";

}

The code works fine as long as in the case, there is no ampersand.

if the case is A & B PRODUCTS, it will not return the string DIVISION OF A & B COMPANIES, INC.

if the case is A B PRODUCTS, it returns the string DIVISION OF A & B COMPANIES, INC.

How do I correct this ampersand issue?

Rule code below:

switch (Field("Function"))

{

case "A & B PRODUCTS":

return "DIVISION OF A & B COMPANIES, INC.";

default:

return "";

}

The easiest way to fix this is is to change the dropdown & the case. It will not affect the return:

switch (Field("Function"))

{

case "CONSUMER AND PERSONAL PRODUCTS WORLDWIDE":

return "DIVISION OF JOHNSON & JOHNSON CONSUMER COMPANIES, INC.";

default:

return "";

}

It will also work if in the rule I change the case & to &
