Character String

Any string between apostrophes (single quotes); for example, ‘This is a string’. Do not use an apostrophe within a string. Use two consecutive single quotes within a string to produce an apostrophe. Do not use double quotes; for example, "This is not a string". For more information, see Expression Delimiters.
