This is from memory so it might not be correct, see my web page for more info.
 
 Suppose you have this macro in your autocall library
 
   %macro geo
        (
           nation=US,
           area=NE,
           state=NY,
           city=Newburg
        ) / des = "Geographic Analysis";
 
 
       some SAS code
 
  %mend geo;
 
 
  Try something like this ( Windows/ OS/2 Unix VMS TSO Clist? )
 
  sas c:\utl\geo  -sasautos c:\utl  -initstmt
%geo(nation=CANADA,AREA=NE,STATE=QUEBEC,CITY=MONTREAL)
 
or
 
 sas \dev\null  -sasautos c:\utl  -initstmt
%geo(nation=CANADA,AREA=NE,STATE=QUEBEC,CITY=MONTREAL)
 
You need to handle the log and list in your macro.
