Problem with string substitution using C51 define directive

kok hua tan

I'm trying to pass a string using the C51 DEFINE directive from command line. i.e. DEFINE(SERIAL="FOOBAR")

When compiling, it is converted to an identifier (FOOBAR) instead of remaining as a string literal ("FOOBAR").
Is there a way to force it to remain as a string literal?

    It's not necessarily the Compiler that's doing it - it might be uVision stripping the quotes before they get to the compiler...?

    Or it might be something else that happens betwen uVision and the compiler...

    Have you tried doubling-up the quotes; eg,

    DEFINE(SERIAL=""FOOBAR"")
