data test;
input id 5.;

The quote function adds double quotes to the data, but I wanted to add the single quote.. %BQUOTE And %STR seems not working.
data test2;
set test;
id_new=quote(id);
run;
******
desired output;
id
'11111'
'12345'
'14524'
'45246'
Thanks in advance
PLease help.
Can concatenate in single quotes.
The single quotes are quoted by double quotes in the following example:
data want;
set test;
id_quote=catt("'", id, "'");
run;
Thanks much
