Question

Can you please help me to put this elements from a node in single quotes and separated by comma
Example. 0018000000yDQ82AAG 835 a1H800000020uWVEAY;a1H800000020uVzEAI;a1H800000020uWUEAY;a1H800000020uX2EAI;

('a1H800000020uWVEAY','a1H800000020uVzEAI','a1H800000020uWUEAY','a1H800000020uX2EAI')

An XPath 3.1 expression to tokenize, concat, string-join, concat is e.g.

'(' || (. => tokenize(';'))[normalize-space()] ! ("'" || . || "'") => string-join(',') || ')'
