Do not use the extra character in the character stringor put a delimiter between the extra character and the string of characters.Instead of using special delimiters to indicate a character string, you can usepaired single quotation marks (apostrophes) to accomplish the same functionwith the FIND subcommand. The use of single quotation marks as delimiters fora character string is called quoted-string notation. Following are the rules forquoted-string notation for the string operand:1.
