SSRS escape ampersand for sub report link

Question

I have the following code to use to create a new tab for sub reports:
="javascript:void window.open(" &"'"& Globals!ReportServerUrl &"/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?"&Globals!ReportFolder &"/SRpt_NonInvTransSumBulkDispBalByHauler&CarrierName="&Fields!Carrier_Name.Value &" ','_blank')"

It works well unless I run across a sub report link that contains an "&" i.e. J&B Enterprises.

Can someone please tell me how to escape the ampersand?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Hi @juniormint ,
From my research, the effective method is to use Escape Function for javascript. The escape() function was deprecated in JavaScript version 1.5. Use encodeURI() or encodeURIComponent() instead.

You could refer to the case: SSRS - Opening sub-report in a new window "&" issue.
Hope this helps.
