Special Characters
If you include any of the following characters in a value, enclose the field with double quotes:
! " # $ % & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < > = ? @ [] \^ _{} | ~
If you enclose a field with double quotes (as in "NCI-2012-00225"), CTRP interprets the string inside the quote exactly as presented. If the field does not contain any special characters, the quote marks are optional.
