Problem Note 16635: Single quotes in data item name or label will cause error in SAS® Information Map

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

If a renamed OLAP data item or label includes a single quote, any queries resulting from the information map will generate an MDX syntax error. For example:

   Syntax error detected on line 1 at column 191.  Found End of
   Statement, expecting (, *, +, -, '.', /, :, <, <=, <>, =, >,
   >=, AND, AS, IS, MEMBER, OR, SELECT, SET, XOR, ||.  ] ] ] ] ] ]

The circumvention is to double the number of single quotes. For example: Men's will cause an error. However, Men''s will not cause an error.
