Calling % sign instead of using it as a string variable

I want to replace % in alpha series. However, when i replace it with the line:
Code: Select all
alphaseries = @replace(alphaseries, "%","percent")
when I run the program, I think EViews interprets it as a string variable and the series window shows the replacement line as:
Code: Select all
Modified: 1 252701 =>
alphaseries = @replace(alphaseries, "","percent")
How do I call this special reserved character into string functions instead as a character instead of a string variable?
Apologies if I'm missing an obvious issue.

Code: Select all
create u 100
alpha a = "100%"
a = @replace(a, "%", "percent")
show a

Are you running programs in v4 compatibility mode?

Yes. I am. For a reason which I dont remember, I need to. Any way to circumvent the above problem while being in this mode?

I'm only on my phone at the moment, so can't check for certain, but I believe you can only turn on ver4 compatibility and not turn it off.
