Subject:      How to covert macro variable to number and assign back to macro
              variable

I need to pass a month variable into my macro.
Then I want to convert it to number, and increase it by 200.

Say if the value is 200405, then after pass in into macro
I want to get 200605 and assign it to a new macro variable.

%macro test(MONTH)
  m=&MONTH;
%mend test;

For instance, in above code, &MONTH contain value of 200405.
I want to get 200605(200405+200) and assign it to a new macro
variable(&MONTH_NEW).

Thanks,

Matt
