The variable ECF_MICRO can be set to change the ecFlow micro-character. This affects both the commands and the interpretation of the ecFlow files. The default value is "%".
An example showing changing the micro-character follows:

suite x
 edit ECF_MICRO "&"
 family f
   task t

...

Another way of changing the micro-character is to set it up in the ecFlow script. It only effects affects the script interpretation, not the commands ECF_JOB_CMD or ECF_KILL_CMD.

#!/bin/bash
%ecf_micro%ecfmicro ^
^include <script.pl>
echo "^VAR:default^"
^ecf_micro^ecfmicro %
echo "reverted %VAR:default%"

...
