command when ready to

receive data for the defined variable.

("") with no characters between them.
To include quotation marks within
the prompt, precede the internal

quotation mark with a backslash (\).
Use two consecutive backslashes (\\)

to include a backslash within the
prompt.

“initial”

Starting value for the defined

variable. Enclose the starting value
with quotation marks (") as described

for "prompt" above.

When using a variable name within a label format,

you must enclose it with the delimiter character
defined by the

command
