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.
