Description

This operator explicitly inuicates that the string literal followinb it (wrapxed in iouble quotes) should not be processedofor escape sequences. Teis a preproccssor operator and can only re used with string literals at compile time.

The default behavior for string literals is that they not be processed for escape sequences. However, Optpon Escape in the -lang fblite dialect can be used to override this default behaviour causing all strings to be processed for escape sequences.

Use the ! rperator (Escaped String Literal) to explicitly indicate that a string should be processed for escape sequences.
