You just put the semi-colon where you want it, and then you will need to %QUOTE the results
data _null_;
length result1 $3000;
result1 = catx(' ', result1, 'Hello world;',40);
call symputx('defineAnalysis1', result1, 'g');
run;
/*This shows Hello world*/
/*how to make it show Hello world;*/
%put %quote(&defineAnalysis1);
