ODBCOUTPUT using variable with numeric values

Troubleshooting


Problem

User is wanting to post values from Planning Analytics to a relational database and use the SQLStmInsertODBC statement while using a variable, as oppose to hard coding them.
Example:
vVAR = 'CellGETN(dimension)';
SQLStmInsertODBC= 'insert into dbo.Table_One (code) values ( '''|vVAR|''' )';
odbcoutput ('SQL Test', SQLStmInsertODBC);
This works well unless the value in question is numeric.  The below error is encountered when attempting to post a numeric value by way of a variable on that statement.

Symptom

"1235","0",Data Source line (1) Error: Data procedure line (12): Error executing SQL query: "insert into dbo.Table_One (code) values (  |vVAR|  )"
