I am not sure what your question is. If you want to force SAS to put in quotes when writing a delimited file using DSD option, even when the quotes are not needed you can use the ~ format modifier.
Try this little program to see the effect of the using the ~ modifier.
data _null_;
input name $20.;
file log dlm=',' dsd;
put name name ~ ;
cards;
This, Needs quotes
This "needs" quotes
no quote needed
run;
Hi Tom,
thanks for your post and help.
Currently all my questions are resolved. I had several questions but I got a lot of help here.
Recently, I had the problem that the DSD option forced the quotes in the output but I did not want them, so I simply left out the DSD option.
