In SAS 9.2 Is there a way to append an Apostrophe?
%macro testMacro();
%let apostrophe = %str(');
%let sumLevText = "1";
%let sumLevText = &apostrophe.&sumLevText.&apostrophe;
%mend;
%testMacro();
I’m thinking that it has something to do with using quote() but I’m not sure.
I’m trying to transform
1, 2, 3 to ‘1’, ‘2,’ ‘3’ I can split the string but adding the apostrophe causes errors.
%let apostrophe=%str(%'); *you should properly escape it;
%let sumLevText = 1; *don't use "'s;
%let sumLevText = &apostrophe.&sumLevText.&apostrophe.;
%put >>>&sumLevText.;
%let apostrophe=%str(%'); *you should properly escape it;
%let sumLevText = 1; *don't use "'s;
%let sumLevText = &apostrophe.&sumLevText.&apostrophe.;
%put >>>&sumLevText.;
