Subject:      Disable scanner-table

Hi,

In order to disable the scanner-table (similar to specify NONLSCOMPATMODE at
startup) the following code is used:

%let trantab_original=%sysfunc(getoption(trantab));
options trantab=(,,,,0,0);run; *disable scanner-table;

%put $$$; *example;

options trantab=&trantab_original;run; *reset trantab;

This works fine. However when the code is put inside a macro, it doesn't
work. Can anyone explain why and provide a solution?

Regards,
Jesper
