Try this:
%let outfile=test;
%let indepvar=testindependent variable;
data bins3;
range=1;
rangef=9;
pctn=12.2;
run;
data _null_;
file &outfile;
%let indepvar=%upcase(&indepvar);
put @2 "%upcase(&indepvar)" ;
put @4 'proc format' ';';
put @5 'value' @10 "&indepvar" ;
run;
data _null_;
file &outfile mod;
set bins3;
put @10 range rangef pctn percent9.2;
run;
data _null_;
file &outfile mod;
put @20 'run;';
run;

Subject: Help: Writing to an external file
Hello everyone,
I have a dataset with 3 variables: range rangef pctn.
I am trying to write them to an external file.
The problem is that the external file gets overwritten
by subsequent 'put statements' in the data _null_ steps
below. For example the external file/output generated
from the code below contains only:
run;
I am sure I am doing something wrong. I'd
appreciate any pointers.
Thanks,
SJ
data _null_;
file &outfile;
put @2 "%upcase(&indepvar)";
put @2 'proc format' ';';
put @5 'value' @10 "&indepvar" ;
run;
data _null_;
file "&outfile";
set bins3;
put @10 range rangef pctn percent9.2;
run;
data _null_;
file "&outfile";
put @2 'run;';
run;
