Escaping > character in the DOS command line

[Argo]

I need to execute a command with one of parameters being '>' character. Is there any way to escape that, otherwise the OS thinks I'm asking it to redirect output.

putting it in quotes is the closest way to do it. ">"

but that passes in the quotes too... so the program that uses it must be able to parse it correctly.
(i.e. echo ">" will print out the three characters ">")

there's no other way to escape it in dos.
