A delimiter is a punctuation symbol that separates data items. In Design, delimiters refer to the parameter delimiters and string separators you can use during clear screen.
Parameter delimiters include spaces, commas (,), periods (.), semicolons (;), slashes (/), back slashes (\), carets (^), dashes (-), asterisks (*), and plus signs (+). String separators include double quotations (“?”), parentheses ((?)), brackets ([?]), braces ({?}), and single quotations ('?').
In string data that contains symbols that may be interpreted as parameter delimiters, enclose the parameter with string separators. For example, for the following string data:
John Smith, Jr.
Use a string separator such as double quotations, as shown in the following example:
“John Smith, Jr.”
This solution eliminates problems in parameter interpretation that may be caused by both the comma and the period.
