Unmatched quotation mark issue in SAS

Question

As is known to all, SAS needs special care to quotation marks inside a sentence.

E.g.

%let quoted=\"I\'d like to\";
data temp;
    set temp;
    quoted=\         


        

Answer 1

I'm not sure what you're trying to achieve in the actual situation, but in the above situation it can be solved removing the double quotation marks in the data step.

%let quoted="I'd like to";
data temp;
    set temp;
    quoted="ed;
run;
