There are two ways to specify special characters in batch data:
u Place a tilde (~) before the character
u Use a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent
For example, you can use ~" or ~034 to print the " character in
your batch data. Use ~~ to print the ~ character in your batch
data; otherwise, the tilde character is ignored. You can also use
~XXX where XXX is the decimal equivalent of an unprintable
character.

If a field is completely filled by data copied from other fields, use
quotation marks without spaces between them for the
"data
string" parameter.

In incrementing fields, the first number in the sequence must
contain the same number of digits as the highest number to be
counted. For example, to increment the numbers in a field from
1
to 999 , enter the starting number in the batch as 001 .
