Another option would be to use -split-
drop _all
input str63 company
"OnlineChoice.com, Inc. (Exelon Corporation (NYSE:EXC))"
"Peppers & Rogers Group (TeleTech Holdings Inc. (NasdaqGS:TTEC))"
end
split company, gen(company) p("(")
split company3, gen(ticker) p(":")
replace ticker2 = subinstr(ticker2, "))", "",.)
drop company3
list
