character fields. The RMVBLANK parameter has the following options: <ul><li>*NONE: All leading and trailing blanks are retained.</li>

a field delimiter, a record delimiter, a decimal point, a date separator,

the STRESCCHR parameter to specify a string escape character for indicating

that the string delimiter character should be treated as a normal character
|

instead of string delimiter.<div class="p">The STRESCCHR parameter has the following options:<ul><li>*NONE: No string escape character is used.</li>
