Here are some guidelines to follow when using MPCLII.

M P C L I I P u n c t u a t i o n

Use the following symbols when creating MPCLII packets:

{	start of header
}	end of header
p	field separator (Use hex 7C for this character.
	Depending on the code page selected, this
	character may appear differently.)
,	parameter separator
"ABC"	Quotation marks enclose character strings.
	Empty quotes ("") identify null strings or
	unused fields.
‘comment‘	Grave accents enclose comments. Any data
	enclosed in grave accents is ignored. Do not
	embed comments within a quoted string.
	ENQ and immediate commands are always
	processed, even if they are included within
	grave accents Grave accents are also used
	to reject mainframe data.

These MPCL characters are the default. See "Defining the Control Characters Packet" to change these characters.
