that are used in the macros contain any of the following special characters,
you must mask the characters by using the %STR macro quoting function.

1Only
leading blanks require the %STR function, but you should avoid using
leading blanks in directory names.
2Asterisks
are allowed in UNIX directory names. Asterisks are not allowed in
Windows directory names. In general, you should avoid using asterisks
in directory names.

Here are some examples
of directory names with special characters:
