Matt answered the main query. For copying to a local macro
local sgntr `r(datasignature)'
local sgntr "`r(datasignature)'"
local sgntr = r(datasignature)
all seem fine. As I understand it, there are no characters within
signatures that could be misread as operators.

Thanks Matt.

You're almost there. Try:
dis "data signature is " r(datasignature)
Note that -r(datasignature)- does not need to be evaluated as a macro.
