I write and use PROC's with symbolic parameter values that have no quotes at all, and which are used as the value of "DSN=" in a subsequent DD statement. I do this all the time in my everyday work, and I have never seen an error like the one you name. Can you provide an example where the lack of quotes generates an error? I have never seen one myself, so long as the DSN follows normal DSN rules.
