Using % in batch files

Ok, I'm stumped here...

I want to use a program in a batch file, but I need to pass it a parameter with a "%" in the name (like "%y").

What happens is that the %y gets expanded out into a variable, which is usually blank... hence I can't get my parameter to the program I'm trying to call!

How can I escape the % to ensure that it gets sent as a %?

Flash of inspiration...

Not /%
Not \%

But %%
