Embedded single quote with GMW sprocs - best practice?

A client of mine asked me the following. Anyone have some good feedback for me? I haven't been doing any of this kind of programming lately.

===CUT===

We import records into GoldMine and use the GMW sprocs. Specifically, we'll call GMW_NV_SetValue.

For example:
Code:
exec @retCode = GMW_NV_SetValue @gmnv, 'UNAMELAST', @lastName


We had a situation where the last name O'Brien came in as O`Brien. We found this note in GMW_NV_SetValue.

Code:
-- 2004-03-12  JSN  Embedded single quote marks causes SQL error.  Replace with reverse tick mark to avoid error.
SET @value = Replace(@value,'''','`')

Is this still the only way to handle names with apostrophes? We don't want records with ` when the character should be '.
