How to do this maintaining the quotes? That's needed for allocating the data
set.
I would work internally with the absolute DSN - if it is a file without
the user's HLQ, I would add it, if it is a filename specified with the
quotes, I would strip it off in the program. This allows me to control
the DSN variable, and then I add the quotes on each command that needs
them.
