Mike,

Do a Google search for: macro quoting sas and read some of the papers that you'll find. Most will likely be by Ian Whitlock and Art Carpenter, although there are definitely others who are also worth reading. I think it will ultimately teach you a lot more than simply trying things and asking questions about why something or other didn't work.

my 2 cents for the day!
