Subject:      Is this a bug in SAS?
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;

The following code should NOT execute the proc print. It seems that when
using macro open code with an
%if and then "ne" operator along with an "|" operator. If I remove
the... | "&a" ne "yes"..., the proc print will not execute. This is
really bazzar. Does anyone know why?

%macro bug(a);
 
  %if "&a" ne "no" | "&a" ne "yes" %then %do;
    proc print data=test;
    run;
  %end;
 
%mend;
 
%bug(no);
