LSE$CLIHELP.HLB  —  DEFINE  LANGUAGE  Qualifiers  /QUOTED_ITEM
       /QUOTED_ITEM=(QUOTES=string [,ESCAPES=string])
       /NOQUOTED_ITEM (D)

    Describes the syntax of certain language elements, such as
    strings, that require special handling for proper text formatting.
    LSE uses the /QUOTED_ITEM qualifier to detect comments properly.
    LSE does not acknowledge comment strings that occur within quoted
    items, nor does it acknowledge quoted elements that occur within
    comments.

    The value of the /QUOTED_ITEM qualifier indicates the syntax of a
    quoted item. This value must be a keyword list. The keywords are
    as follows:

    o  QUOTES

       This keyword is required and must have an explicit value.
       The value must be a quoted string denoting all of the quote
       characters in the language. LSE assumes that quoted items begin
       and end with the same character.

    o  ESCAPES

       This keyword is optional. If given, then the value is required
       and must be a quoted string containing the escape characters
       for quoted items. Some languages use escape characters to
       insert quote characters into strings. For example, C uses
       the backslash (\)  as an escape character. If you omit this
       keyword, then LSE assumes that the language inserts quote
       characters into strings by doubling them.
