Subject:      Nesting Macro Variables

Hi All,

I'm trying to run some code using Macro's, but some of the nested
variables aren't resolving.  I probably have some mistake in coding, so
any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Reeza

%macro start();
%do i=1971 %to 1975;

data _null_;
call symput ('yr', i);
%put &yr;
%prepdata(&yr.);
run;
%end;
%mend start;

%start();

%macro prepdata(test);


        data master;
                merge sim.fixedpar sim.actualSM (where=(year=&test));
                by RA;
                if RA in (15 81 110) then delete;
                rename RA=Risk_Area_ID;

        run;

***Other Code follows;

%mend;
