Ron,
Thanks for the suggestions. I found many, but not all of the source
codes and have now recompiled them for Version 9 (using the / source
option).
I've tried writing a short macro to PRINT UP all of these sources from
a new 9.1.3 catalog but keep getting a ...
ERROR: Macro library damaged. Cannot execute macro DOIT.
ERROR: The macro DOIT will stop executing.
... message.
It may have something to do with a macro compiled in WORK.sasmacr
trying to access a stored sasmacr catalog? Do you have any ideas why
this is not working?
* ========= My code follows ======================================= ;
* Getting the source from stored_compiled(with source) macro catalogs ;
libname oldmacs v9 'C:' ;
ods output catalog_random=cr ; * this creates a dataset containing the
name of all the macros in the catalog
;
ods listing close ;
proc catalog c=oldmacs.sasmacr ;
contents ;
quit;
ods output close ;
ods listing ;
proc sql noprint ;
select objname into :o1-:o1000 from cr ; * this creates macro
variables
containing the names of
the
macros in the stored
catalog;
select count(objname) into :n from cr ; * this returns the NUMBER of
names found ;
quit;
options mstored sasmstore=oldmacs ;
%macro doit ;
%do i=1 %to &n ;
%copy &&o&i / source ; * this will go to the log ;
%copy &&o&i / source outfile= "$HOME/OLDMACS.&&o&i" ; * this will
create output files ;
%end ;
%mend doit ;
%doit ;
* ======== End of code ========================================== ;
Thanks for any insight,
Mark
