The RESOLVE function incorrectly adds a quote at the end of the result
when the argument being passed contains a quote.  The argument that is
passed is a macro variable reference and the value in the macro
variable contains the quote.  The following example illustrates the
problem:

  data _null_;
    x="can't";
    call symput('test',x);
  run;
  data _null_;
    y=resolve("&test");
    put y=;
  run;

The result of the PUT statement is y=can't'.
