Hello,  
I neet to pass variable to FBCMD with semicolon. Is it posible? FBCMD treat semicolon as new variable:

-v:CondDefs=“ORACLE;OCI;LCZ”

Using quotes do not halp also.

Semi colon’s are the separator for variables so you can’t use them on the command line.

My suggestion would be to use another character and do a string replace in your project to replace that character with the semicolon.
