BUG: Literal (quoted) strings cannot be used in expressions stored in the expression database. The quotes are stripped and then the error is that an operand by that name is not found. As a warning, single quotes in the database are not interchangable with double quotes as they are on the command line. They are interpreted as character constants and something like 'abc' will be expanded to 'a bc'.

STATUS: Double quoted strings allowed in next release.
