Subject:      macro variables
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Hi,

I have a question about use of variables. I created 200 macro variables, say, called 'var1, var2, ..., var200'. Now I need to do a calculatin on it. For example,

data _null_; sum = &var1 + &var2 + ... + &var200; run;

Obviously, I couldn't use the '...'. Well, I know I can type those 200 variables but I bet there got to be a better way and you know it!

Thank you.

P.S. BTW, a couple of weeks ago, I asked another question and got quite a few answers. Most of them work fine and solved my problem. Thank you all! This is a great place and I couldn't resist to think about this list when I got a problem (I'll try very hard first to avoid asking you too trivial ones.)
