The %KLEFT and %KQLEFT macro functions left-align arguments
by removing leading blanks. If the argument contains a special character or
mnemonic operator, listed here, use %KQLEFT.
%KLEFT returns an unquoted result, even if the argument is quoted. %KQLEFT
produces a result with the following special characters and mnemonic operators
masked so that the macro processor interprets them as text instead of as elements
of the macro language:
& % ' " ( ) + - * / < > = ¬ ^ ~ ; , # blank
