Thanks Chang, Since I thought SAS consider it comments anyway,
I never test if it will work for single '*' comment.

Kind regards,

Hi, Ya,

how about comment statement?

Cheers,
Chang

data _null_;
  set sashelp.class(obs=3);
  call execute('run;' || " *" || name || ";");
run;
/* on log
NOTE: CALL EXECUTE generated line.
1   + run; *Alfred  ;
2   + run; *Alice   ;
3   + run; *Barbara ;
*/
