for example i need a variables string to read: 'master','Test'
but the best i can do is get it to read: master, Test
heres what i have:

set @var = 'master, test'

I tried
set @var = ''master' + ',' + 'test''

but that doesnt work i get a invalid syntax error.... i know this is dumb but is it possible to do what i want?

Thanks

Are you doing this so that you can use IN(@var)? If so:

Otherwise:
set @var = '''master''' + ',' + '''test'''
