Subject:      UPCASE and unmatched parenthesis conundrum
Comments: To: sas-l@uga.edu

This code fails 'miserably'.  The expected label statement is not generated.
Instead the session is left is some sort of 'open' state at the LABEL
statement .  Any ideas why and how to correct?

%macro foo;
  data _null_;
    call symput ('foo', 'The unusual case of (the unmatched parenthesis');
  run;

  %put foo=&foo;

  %put upcase foo = %UPCASE(&foo);

  data ugg;
    foo = 0;
    LABEL foo = "%UPCASE(&foo)";
  run;
%mend;

options mprint;

%foo;
