SAS Tech support does not support usenet, so they are not listening.  I might
be able to be of some help, however.  Please call them at (919)677-8000
or FAX them at (919)677-8123 if you need to talk to them.

Apparently, you can't.  lc must put double-quotes around all the arguments
it passes to lc1;  these double-quotes interfere with yours.  There is no
way of escaping the double-quotes.

You CAN do this if you invoke lc1 yourself, without using lc.  Pass the
argument just like you listed it:

   lc1 -dFUBAR="hello" test

You will, of course, have to run lc2 on it individually as well.

Another way to do it is to use the stringization feature of the preprocessor:

/* In your source code: */
#define STRING(x) #x

then on the command line...

lc -dFUBAR=STRING(hello) test
