I may have asked this before, but I can't seem to find any references in
the archives.

I would like to define a string using the -D option when compiling C (on
mpe)
where the string contains spaces.
But it appears that the parsing used by CCXL stops on spaces even when
inside
quotes.

my work around has been to put the string into a temp file and then include
the file.

ccxl c5c,,,"-DVSTR=""OK"""
