Well, without the quotes then...........................

I had the impression that a macro function %IN would be supported some time. I don't know what syntax to expect. There are a few macros around with different names that support that functionality. One of them is my macro %IN that you can obtain from: http://home.hccnet.nl/jim.groeneveld/software/SASmacro/IN.zip with syntax: %IF %IN (INlist=toby dunn tree frog, CheckVar=&Something) etc. Note that it needs macro values, not SAS variable values!
