2101800 - Unable to store special character in a table, if character is part of SQL statement - SQL Anywhere

• Some special characters within a SQL statement are converted into a control character (0x1A).
• When the table already contains such a special character, it can be shown in Interactive SQL result set, using a SELECT statement.
• For example using Interactive SQL, a special character cannot be stored into a table using the following statement:
      INSERT INTO <table> (<column>) VALUES ('<special character>')

This issue may occur when trying to call the OpenXML procedure within a PowerBuilder application using a statement like the following:
    SQLCA.SyntaxFromSQL("SELECT ... FROM OPENXML( '<XML document containing special characters>', ...
The execution of this statement causes the error: 'XML parser error: character: <character pos>, line: <line number>, column: <column number> Illegal control character'
