Pauloalves,

The in operator in the context of the Macro facility would depend on your
version of SAS and I  ussually see it something like the following:

%put %eval(a in a,b,c,d);

As to yoru second question yes consider the following example:
%macro test(var=%str(a,b,c));
%put &var ;
%mend;

%test

results in a,b,c in the log.

Sorry guys this one is a stupid one...

The database I am using has this odd thing of years with 53 weeks... do
not ask me why! the years with 53 weeks are (1988,1993,1999,2004)

I need to identify these years when running a macro

%do i = 1 %to &nYears;
   %if %eval(&i+&FYear-1) %in (1988,1993,1999,2004) %then ...;;
   %else .......;;
%end;

Variable Fyear=1984 and Nyears=21

I am getting the error
ERROR: Required operator not found in expression: %eval(&i+&FYear-1)
%in (1988,1993,1999,2004)

Another question...
Is it possible to pass the (1988,1993,1999,2004) as a parameter?
