This is attempting to be a "function-style" macro.  That's why it's invoked from the %put/%let statement, so it will have a context.

Good catch on local %one, it is supposed to be %local_one.

Thinking again about the semi-colons you raised.  A semi-colon on the %local_one invocation causes %local_two to fail, removing the semi-colon gets me what I want.  But, see below for the rsubmited version, ain't so hopeful, even with the semi-colon removed from %one ( and a comment added as Kevin suggested ).

It appears that SAS is incapable of separating the %one macro statement from the 'endrsubmit' statement unless the semi-colon is specified.  Any ideas?

3048  %global var;
3049  %macro local_one;
3050     %let var = 4;
3051  %mend;
3052
3053  %macro local_two;  %*  colon after macro call;
3054    %local_one;
3055    &var
3056  %mend;
3057
3058  %put %nrstr(%local_two) returns %local_two;
%local_two returns

Harry,

  That is interesting.  I wonder what might happen if you tried to call
the macro with something between it and the ENDRSUBMIT statement such as a
comment.

  I looked again at your original macro:

%macro two;
   ;  %* need this semi-colon before the RSUBMIT, why? ;
   rsubmit;
     %one;
   endrsubmit;
   %put Inside %nrstr(%two &remote_var) has a value of &remote_var;
   &remote_var
   ^^^^^^^^^^^
%mend two;

The four is laying about for a good reason.  My initial thoughts were
wrong because it is apparently a global macro variable, which should have
been obvious because the macro variable and not the value would have been
laying about.  The value "4" is laying about because the macro variable
resolves amid nothing (no data set or procedure) by virtue
of the underlined portion about.  There is a good chance that you have
provided this as a bare example and I have misinterpreted it.

I also looked at your local example again:

2539  %global var;
2540  %macro local_one;
2541     %let var = 4;
2542  %mend;
2543
2544  %macro local_two;
2545    %one;
        ^^^^
2546    &var
2547  %mend;
2548
2549  %put %nrstr(%local_two) returns %local_two;
%local_two returns 4

LOCAL_TWO calls ONE, not LOCAL_ONE.  There is no indication from the log
that the macro ONE does not exist, though.

I hope I have not missed too much this time :)

Regards,

Kevin
