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.
