Hi Fellow SAS-Lers,

I am maintaining a program that has, WITHIN A MACRO, a quoted string literal that starts with a quote in column 1 goes to the end of the line and then continues again in column 1 of the next line. Our style standard calls for indentation and not continuing past column 72 (the last column visible in the editor). If I attempt to do this in standard base SAS format such as:

%DO; FOOT = ' long text ,,, ' 'continued text'; %END;

I get an error message. Any suggestions on how to do this in a macro?
