<MAKEQUOTED> 

Syntax 

<MAKEQUOTED [string] >

where:

string                unquoted string or quoted string

Description 

<MAKEQUOTED> makes any string into a quoted string.  If string is already
a quoted string, it will not be altered.  If however, string is an
unquoted string that has a small section of quoted text embedded within
it, <MAKEQUOTED> will convert the inner quotes to single quotes (').  If
string is not supplied, <MAKEQUOTED> will return a quoted null string
("").

See also:  <MAKEUNQUOTED>, <QUOTE>, <UNQUOTE>.

Example 

     <MAKEQUOTED Hi there>

becomes:

     "Hi there"

Whereas:

     <MAKEQUOTED "Hi there">

stays as:

     "Hi there"

If a quoted string is found within the string:

     <MAKEQUOTED I said "Good bye" to him>

The inner quotes are converted to single quotes and the string becomes:

     "I said 'Good bye' to him"
