Subject:      IF - THEN processing in MACRO
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

Hello all,

I recently took the SAS Macro course and am now trying to apply what I
have learned.  Here is the snag I have come across:

I am doing conditional IF-THEN processing.  I know that I have to use
the following syntax:

%IF <condtion> %THEN %DO;

However, if I have multiple conditions like this:

%IF ht < 121 or ht > 230 %THEN %DO;,

I am not getting the correct answer when ht = 156.  I have the
symbolgen option turned on, and it is telling me that my condition is
true.  I tried %OR, but that is not a valid statement.  Is it
impossible to do, maybe?

Thanks,
