Hi Blood, eh Chris,

what's in your macros %thismacro and %thatmacro? Is it just
datastep-statements?
Remember that macro is just text-replacement, so there is no difference
doing the job the way you try or pasting the code of the two macros directly
in your code.
Can it be that you have a complete data- or proc-step in your macro?

%macro whatever;
    set dataset;
        if thisvariable = thisvalue then do;
            %thismacro
            <more stuff>
        end;
        else %thatmacro
%mend whatever;

Basically my problem is I keep getting unclosed do blocks because it
jumps to another macro.  Is there a way around this?
