character
|
The escape character to be used when interpreting filenames provided to the run-time system in calls such as CBL_OPEN_FILE.
The escape character is not treated as part of the filename but instead quotes the character immediately following the escape
character (such as a space). It is necessary to quote filenames that have embedded spaces within them.
