Y'all,
Can somebody tell me, as simply as possible, if it is possible to use CALL
SYMPUT and the resulting macro variable, within a macro. For example (this
is a gross oversimplification of what I'm attempting to do):
%MACRO EXAMPLE (SOMEDATASET=);
DATA EXAMPLE;
SET &SOMEDATASET;
BY ID;
IF ID = 2 THEN CALL SYMPUT ('QUESTIONABLE_VAR',NAME);
RUN;
DATA EXAMPLE2;
SET IDLIST;
BY ID;
NEWID = &QUESTIONABLE_VAR;
RUN;
%MEND EXAMPLE;
Would that work? I'd be grateful for any help. Thanks.
Doug out.
