title: Entering parentheses in string values
body: <p>I'm trying to enter a value for a string variable which contains parentheses.  </p>
  
  <pre><code>ValueString = "'("&amp;data1&amp;"')"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For this example, Data1 has a value of 6 ( I confirmed that the variable has a value prior to this line of code)</p>
  
  <p>I want the value of ValueString to be (6)</p>
  
  <p>When run, I get "expected end of statement"  with the  <code>&amp;"')"</code> highlighted.  </p>
  
  <p>I have tried many variations of this syntax, with the same result.  </p>
  
  <p>Any suggestions?</p>
