Hello,

For you use special names, you have to put it inside single commas and N at the end.

Ex:  'rammesh S/o bhoomareddy'n.

Here is an example with your names.

data teste;

        'ramesh S/o bhoomareddy'n = 1;

        'w/o ramesh'n = 2;

        'sony d/o suresh'n = 3;

        'ramesh alias don'n = 4;

run;

proc sql;

    select 'w/o ramesh'n from teste;

quit;

Tell me if it works !

Regards,

Kassim

It would help if you provide the way you want the resulting file to look.
