Dynamic input error when using a dash

jbirdme
5 - Atom
I am using the dynamic input tool.  It is working fine when the patient ID has no dashes.  When it has a dash, I am getting the following error:

Error: Dynamic Input (20): Error: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server: Incorrect syntax near '-'.\42000 = 102 in Query: EXEC jmg_FindTheLatestAccount G3-B20151103130257056

When I put this string G3-B20151103130257056 directly into the stored procedure, it works fine.  Somehow, it seems that Alteryx is changing it.

 

Any suggestions?

It may be interpreting the dash as a minus sign. Can you wrap it in quotes as part of passing it to the stored procedure?
