Has anyone displayed a text string in " quotes ?

Levi's jeans are available in colors "sky blue", "dark blue" or "black".

I've tried to code this with values per example below:

DEFINE FILE CAR
ACASE/A20 WITH COUNTRY = 'CASE_NAME';
BLANKS/A3 = ' ';
QTL/A1 = '"';
QTR/A1 = '"';
END

but I get unpredictable results.

Thanks!

I might not understood it correctly ...
but what I have in my mind is :

DEFINE FILE CAR
ACASE/A20 WITH COUNTRY = 'CASE_NAME';
BLANKS/A3 = ' ';
QTL/A1 = '"';
QTR/A1 = '"';
QTN/A25 = '"' || CAR || '"';
END
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
ACASE
BLANKS
QTL
QTR
QTN
END
Will it work for your case?
