you must let a ' in front of ("@"), like that:
(setq ab '("@"))

Just try it. When I do, I get

Command: (setq ab ("@"))
; error: bad function: "@"

Do you mean to set a value to a text string containing only that one
character? If so, leave out the inner parentheses.

Command: (setq ab "@")
"@"

Command: !ab
"@"

Kent,

This; (setq ab '("@")) returns
("@")

Now what he is going to do with it?

(setq ab (chr 64))

That works, too -- it's the same as my offering of:
(setq ab "@")
resulting in "@".

But the OP hasn't said what they want to use it for, so depending on the
answer to that, Kirk's version that results in ("@") might be the "right"
way to go.

Sure.. as is also the case for any other
character or symbol that has no special
meaning in LISP (e.g., (, ), ', " etc...).

(setq @ "hello")

thanks for the replies,
whay i was after is a more simple and cleaner way to do the following

(defun c:sctxt ()
(Setvar "Cmdecho" 0)
(Setq AA (Entsel "\nSelect Text"))
(Setq A (Car AA))
(Setq B (Entget A))
(Setvar "Orthomode" 1)
(Setq P1 (Cdr (Assoc 10 B)))
(command "scale" AA "" p1 "R" "@" pause)
)
