Subject:      Appending ";" at the end of a variable
Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed

Hello SASL;

I need to append  “;” at the end of a variable, I tried the following;

%let commait = %str(;);


data test1;
big_var=”I_am_too_Big_2_handle”;
run;

data test2;
set test1;
big_Var=Big_var||&commait;
run;

but I am not getting the “;” at the end of the variable. What am I doing
wrong?

Thank you in advance.
Wollo
