How to do this maintaining the quotes? That's needed for allocating the
data set.
Yet again, simple to do with a regex.

The quotes were OK, the space between translate and the left paren was not.
Fixing that
parm="INDSN('HLQ.DSNAME(MEMBER)')"
Parse Value Translate(parm,"","'")' ' With fill1 '(' val ') ' fill2;say
'fill1='fill1 'val='val 'fill2='fill2
gives me
fill1=INDSN val= HLQ.DSNAME(MEMBER fill2=)
Not only did it lose the RP, it also stripped off the apostrophes indicating
that it was a FQDSN.

Try this:
Parse Value Space(Translate(parm,"","'"),0)' ' With . '(' val ') ' .
(Forgot that Translate does not support translating to nulls.)
