Putting a value with Quotes in a File

milts — Mon, 26 Jun 2017 06:35:33 GMT

I'm having some problems when putting a string with quotes into a file. I starts to get some problems when I assign it into a variable in my data step.

Greatly appreciate any assistance. Thanks!

%let val = -remove "User1":ALL;

data _null_;
file myfile;
tmp = "&val";
put tmp(~);
run;
