&NOCLOSBRAC 

Syntax 

&NOCLOSBRAC {flag}

where:

flag                  numeric value

Description 

&NOCLOSBRAC provides a means to allow the usage of "(" characters in
following active functions, for example within escape sequences.  This
option prevents the HP Desk parsing algorithm from supplying a matching
")" which could invalidate the sequence.  The value of the flag parameter
should be set to 1 to enable, and 0 to disable.  At the end of any script
this option is automatically disabled.

Example 

     &SAVE vara (
     &PRINT <VAR vara>
     &NOCLOSBRAC 1
     &SAVE varb (
     &PRINT <VAR varb>
     &NOCLOSBRAC 0
     &SAVE varc (
     &PRINT <VAR varc>

When it is executed, this script will print out:

     ()
