Getting error: CLEM error: Malformed token when creating a CLEM formula

Troubleshooting

Problem

CLEM formulas require special treatment of backslash characters, would like additional documentation of how to search for a backslash in a formula.. For instance, customer has a string called field1 which has a backslash in it. If they try to create a derive node with the formula issubstring('\',field1) they get the error CLEM error: Malformed token '\',field1)' in expression: issubstring('\',field1) If instead they use the following in the formula issubstring('\\',field1) the formula works properly and tries to find instances of a single backslash rather than a double backslash. Although this is documented in the online help, the requirement to use two backslashes should be listed in the topic of string or string functions under the CLEM topic.
