Other than resolving macro variables not really in SAS.

The he only other time it becomes useful is,to mask one or the other.

var = " There's an apostrophe in my variable";

One other case - opposite of macro, ir you have a percent or ampersand you don't want SAS to interpret as a macro/macro variable then use single quotes.
