ESCCHAR can't recognize "$" because it is "Obsolete"?

in SQL Language (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered

I'm trying to create a SPOOL file into a folder that contains character "$":

\\MainFolder\Folder$\SubFolder\File.out

The initial issue was supposed to be solved by SET ESCCHAR, but when I run it, it returns

"SET ESCCHAR $ is Obsolete".

Then I read under...

... the following note:

Note:Starting from Oracle Database release 19c, version 19.3, file names with the $ character will no longer run on Windows.

What is then the workaround that we can use?
