I think this sort of thing is much easier to do using a literal result
element:

<A href='#' onclick='vbscript:OpenWindow3("{@SSN}", "{@Plancode}")'>
<xsl:value-of select="@SSN"/></A>

Of course, there's no reason why " cannot appear in a text node:

<xsl:element name="A">
  <xsl:attribute name="href">#</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="onclick">vbscript:OpenWindow3("<xsl:value-of select
="@SSN"/>", "<xsl:value-of select="@Plancode"/>")
</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:value-of select="@SSN"/>
</xsl:element>

If extra whitespace matters to you, then you'll need to be careful about
embedded linefeeds.  You could also use xsl:text, if the whitespace is
undesirable, and you want to keep some standard indentation for your
stylesheet.
