NAME
       plsesc - Set the escape character for text strings

SYNOPSIS
       plsesc(esc)

DESCRIPTION
       Set the escape character for text strings.  From C (in contrast to
       Fortran 77, see plsescfortran77(3)) you pass esc as a character. Only
       selected characters are allowed to prevent the user from shooting
       himself in the foot (For example, a  isn't allowed since it conflicts
       with C's use of backslash as a character escape).  Here are the allowed
       escape characters and their corresponding decimal ASCII values: !,
       ASCII 33

       #, ASCII 35

       $, ASCII 36

       %, ASCII 37

       &, ASCII 38

       *, ASCII 42

       @, ASCII 64

       ^, ASCII 94

       ~, ASCII 126



       Redacted form:  General: plsesc(esc) Perl/PDL: Not available?
