valid values for
statement(s)

-
"statement(s)"
-
specifies any SAS statement or statements.
The value for statement(s) must be enclosed in
double quotation marks.
In order to conform to the OpenVMS command-line
syntax, the value for this option must be enclosed in double quotation marks.
The quotation marks enable you to preserve case, as well as to specify a compound
statement. Any value that is enclosed in single quotation marks is resolved
as a symbol by OpenVMS before it is
processed by the SAS System. If no symbol exists for the specified value,
unexpected results may occur.
Note:
Placing single quotation marks inside double quotation
marks may not create the effect that you want. To preserve the case of the
characters, enclose strings in double quotation marks. ![[cautend]](../common/images/cautend.gif)
