Escaping '@' in Database Operation File

In SQL Server one can query the last created indentity value as such:

INSERT INTO .....

SELECT @@IDENTITY AS 'Identity';

I am trying to acheive the same in a database operation file (.esbdb). However I am unable to escape the @ character. It tries to interpret those as query parameters. Any way to achieve this?

I am using Sonic 7.6.2

Thanks
