Casey, Paul, et al.;

To further Paul's suggestion, you might not want to assume that the system
was set to MLOGIC and MPRINT before the macro was called.  So, you can
code...

%macro name () ;
   %let reset
      %sysFunc( getOption( mLogic ) ) %sysFunc( getOption( mPrint ) )
   ;
   Options noMLogic noMPrint ;
   ...
   Options &reset ;
%mEnd name ;

Casey,

Not a complete solution, but if, for all of your autocall macros, you can do
this

%macro name () ;
option nomlogic nomprint ;
....
option mlogic mprint ;
%mend name ;

then the only MLOGIC stuff the system will print for this macro execution
will be

MLOGIC(NAME):  Beginning execution.
MPRINT(NAME):   option nomlogic nomprint ;

Another approach is to consider replacing %LEFT, %VERIFY and such with
corresponding DATA step functions via the %SYSFUNC() interface. I have
acquired this habit both for the reason you state here and because it
provides for faster execution.

Kind regards,
