Special Characters in Business Object tool

Summary:

For a Business object, I have a String Parameter , which i'm evaluating using the ?q=<fieldName>='{ParameterValue}' format.

The ParameterValue has special characters such as &, " ' ".

I get an error because the value is getting evaluated as follows:

{   "headers": {},   "operation_type": "GET",   "query_dict": {     "q": "UPPER(BankName)=UPPER('BANQUE CANTONALE DE GENEVA') and UPPER(BankBranchName)=UPPER('QUAI DE L'ILE 17')",     "onlyData": true,     "fields": "BankPartyNumber,BankNumber,BranchPartyNumber,BranchNumber,BranchNumberType,EFTSWIFTCode,BranchPartyId"   },   "resource_path": "/fscmRestApi/resources/11.13.18.05/cashBankBranches" }

Output

{   "response": {     "title": "Bad Request",     "status": 400,     "o:errorDetails": [       {         "detail": "Failed to build ViewCriteria from expression \"UPPER(BankName)=UPPER('BANQUE CANTONALE DE GENEVA') and UPPER(BankBranchName)=
