O4WEscape routine
Description
Allows for the encoding of a string to a particular environment.
Syntax
O4WEscape(value, type)
Parameters
The function has the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |

Remarks
Note that O4W normally takes care of encoding strings as needed; however, it is up to the developer to use valid strings for "name" and "ID" parameters for the O4W calls, and calling O4WEscape with the O4W_ESCAPE_ID$ parameter is one way to ensure that a name or ID is valid.
