Logical Escape
The logical escape symbol (
"
) causes z/VM® to consider
the next character entered to be a data character, even if it is normally
one of the logical line editing symbols (@, ¢, "
,
or #). For example,
ABC"¢D results in ABC¢D
""ABC"" results in "ABC"
If you enter a single logical escape symbol ("
) as the
last character on a line, or on a line by itself, it is ignored.
When you enter multiple logical escape characters in conjunction
with other logical editing characters, the results may be difficult
to predict. For example, the lines
ABC""@DEF
ABC""@@DEF
both result in the line ABCDEF.
