Release Notes for SP03

String Literals in Expressions (Enhanced)

As of PCo 15.3 SP03, the definition of fixed strings in PCo expressions has been simplified. For strings, you can now use the verbatim string (@) and, alternatively, escape sequences in your expressions. This enables you to simplify how you enter complex strings in the expression editor.

To be able to use the new functions, you have to select the Allow Verbatim String and Escape Sequences checkbox in the compatibility settings (in the menu under Tools  Options  Global Settings).

Note that expressions that you created in earlier PCo versions are interpreted as if this checkbox had not been selected. Therefore, if you want to migrate agent instance configurations and destination system configurations from PCo version 15.5.2 or older and want to select the checkbox, you may have to manually adjust your expressions to the notation with escape sequences or the verbatim string.
