How do I express specialFolderPath(28)in DOS syntax

For compatibility with non-English operating systems (who can have DOS-breaking diacriticals in path names), I need to write a BAT file that points to the equivalent of specialFolderPath(28). For example, in the same way that
cd %TEMP%
changes to the temporary directory, I need a DOS command that points to what is typically
C:/Users/John/AppData/Local
I cannot write the literal "specialFolderPath(28)" to the BAT file, of course, and cannot find any documentation of how to write its DOS-variable in a command prompt. Ken Ray has it cross-referenced to the Microsoft constant CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, but I cannot figure out the synatax of format.
Ideas?
