Hi Toby,
Thanks...I now realize my test case was insufficient. The "real" "%foo"
macro is not all macro code. Sorry for that.
Here is a more realistic test case:
%macro foo / cmd;
%let sysparm=TEST;
submit '%bar';
%mend;
%macro bar;
data one;x=1;run;
%mend;
With this test case, I need the "submit" command.
I'm finding command style macros to be "finicky". I think the end users
can live with the restrictions 1) type "%foo" rather than "foo" on the
command line, and 2) the program editor must be the active DMS window when
you issue the "%foo" command.
Regards,
Scott
