Hi,
Your code is a little bit confusing, but I can tell you why
you don't get the results in your macro variable. Just try to put
a "run;" statement before your "%put" then you will have your
data step executed and the macro will be resolved at execution time of
the %put statement.
Regards,
Benard Tremblay
