Is there a way in SAS to return a value from a macro. What I want to
write is something like:
x = %recode(var);
and have the macro return a recoded value to x.
At the moment I am doing it as follows:
%recode(var); x=some_temp_var;
where some_temp_var is a datastep variable created in the macro simply
for the purpose of passing a value back. Bit kludgy to say the least.
Cheers, and many thanks.
