     Compiler warning (level 4) C4125
 
     decimal digit terminates octal escape sequence
 
     An octal escape sequence in a character or string constant was
     terminated with a decimal digit.
 
     The compiler evaluated the octal number without the decimal digit,
     and assumed the decimal digit was a character.
 
     The following example causes this warning:
 
          char array1[] = "\709";
 
     If the digit 9 was intended as a character and was not a typing
     error, correct the example as follows:
 
          char array[] = "\0709";  /* String containing "89" */
