NULL-ESCAPE

Treats a 0x00 character in the source file as an escape character for other non-printable characters in the source code.

Syntax:

>>-.---.-.----.—NULL-ESCAPE---><  
   +-/-+ +-NO-+

Parameters:

None.

Properties

Default:	NULL-ESCAPE
Phase:	Syntax check
$SET:	Any

Comments:

Some systems allowed you to embed control characters in the source as if they were escaped by a null character. Use NONULL-ESCAPE if you embed single 0x00 characters in literals in your source code. This replaces the previous option of COBSW=-N.

Alternatively, use x"00" syntax to represent null characters in your literals or z" literal syntax to end a literal in a null character.
