You might try using the square brackets [] as delimiters within the string rather than the apostrophe, since they don't occur in the typical data; IOW:

cMyVar = "ALLTRIM(MyTable.MyField) = [" + ALLTRIM(THIS.VALUE) + "]"

Also, you're hurting yourself needlessly using ALLTRIM() in WHERE clauses; it ensures that the expression will not be Rushmore-optimizable, and depending on the SET environment, may result in unexpected matches using the = operator.
