First non-blank on text continuation line must be the delimiter in use; Expecting dlm

Reason:

The previous control statement ended with a string value showing a continuation onto the next statement. The first nonblank character on the continued statement must be the delimiter that was being used on the string being continued. The delimiter used on the previous line was dlm. The continued string value may be placed in any input column.

Action:

To continue a long string value onto a continuation statement, add a trailing “+” on the command line to be continued, such as parameter=”long string”+ and begin the continued statement with “ value”. Make sure you use the same delimiter, the single or double quote, on the continued line as you used on the statement that was marked as continued.
