Thanks a ton for sloving this problem.
I have made little change in the code as my dataset contains
characters.Here as below

%MACRO TEST( MEDIA_CODE1 = ) ;
      %PUT &MEDIA_CODE1 ;
%MEND TEST ;


%MACRO NUM_OBSER( START= , END= ) ;


  DATA _NULL_ ;
  SET CSYAM.file_data ;


   do ind = &start to &end ;


     IF ( Unique_Index = IND ) THEN
     CALL execute ('%TEST( MEDIA_CODE1 = "' || Media_Code||'" )' ) ;


  end ;
  run ;

%MEND NUM_OBSER ;

%NUM_OBSER( START = 1 , END = 2 )

I have little doubt, is it does matters if we place %MACRO TEST(
MEDIA_CODE1 = )  after  %MACRO NUM_OBSER( START= , END= ) ; ? I am
tlking about timing, could you explain little more on this. so that i
can take care of it in future.

Once again Thanks a lot!
