Using the Dollar($) Sign in a User Function Implementation

Question

Hi All,
Just a quick question: how could you use a dollar($) sign in the implementation (Oracle) of a user function? I'm asking because the table name that I'm using in the implementation happens to contain the dollar sign (I$_FACT_SALES) and from the results I'm getting now, ODI reads the $ as reference to a variable, therefore removing the $-sign from my table name upon execution (I_FACT_SALES). Is there something like a backslash or some other character that could be inserted before the $ so it would register as part of the table name?
Any response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks very much,
Marco

You may have 3 options:
1.) Try using the tablename in quotes "MY$TABLE" or may be MY$$TABLE using double $ symbol
or
2.) I found this code snippet : odiRef.getInfo( \\u0022DEST_WORK_SCHEMA\\u0022 )+\\u0022.\\u0022,\\u0022\\u0022)?. So on these lines you can use \\u0022 as a symbol for "

3.) Change the Work Tables Prefix in Topology Manager > Physical Schema > Your_Schema
from E$_ , C$_ , I$_ to something like ERR_ , SRC_ , INT_
