Mike, Not that I do not like your response, but please explain how your interpretation can be reconciled with the following excerpt from the specification (page 187). | 8. Parameter values can be expressed either as a string literal, decimal | number or in the standard ANCI 'C' notation for floating point numbers | (e.g., 2.0e-9). String literal values are delimited using a double | quote (") and no double quotes are allowed inside the string literals.

The answer depends partially on whether or not "param_value" contains white space. If it does not, then either form should work equally well in the parameter string, and the parser in the model should support either form without complaint since both forms are fully compliant with the published syntax. The parser we published in 2007 does, so I don't see any excuse for failing to provide this functionality. If "param_value" is actually "param value", then (param_name "param value") will work, but (param_name param value) will be mistakenly interpreted as an array of strings.
