In general it's better to use a name expression here, e.g.
OPEN DATA (x)
This will also handle the situation where the expression "x" contains a space, that is, it is fully-qualified and one or more of the folders in the path contains a space. This will cause the macro substitution to fail, as it will insert multiple words.
If you are not fully qualifying the path to database "x" and it's not in your PATH, it won't be found/opened.
