There are two ways to specify special characters in batch data:

¨ Place a tilde (~) before each character

¨ Use a tilde with the decimal ASCII equivalent

For example, you can use “” or ~034 to print the “ character in your batch
data; otherwise, the tilde characters are 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.
