Problem Note 40031: Single quotation marks have been added to internal macros in SAS® Enterprise Guide®
There are currently 12 internal macro variables that can be used in SAS Enterprise Guide, for example, _CLIENTAPP, _CLIENTMACHINE, and _CLIENTPROJECTNAME. (A list of other macros can be found by using the Search tab in the Help and entering MACROS as the keyword.)
In version 4.2, the macro variable values resolve to include single quotation marks, for example, &_clientapp resolves to 'SAS Enterprise Guide', but, in earlier versions, the same macro variable resolves to SAS Enterprise Guide.
To remove the quotation marks, use %SYSFUNC, for example:
title "%sysfunc(compress(&_clientapp,%str(%')))".
