A simple MACRO question:
in [SAS]
|
From: toby dunn on 26 Jul 2007 11:26 do this: &datas._08 &datas._15 Basically you have to tell SAS when the ,acro name ends, other wise it tries to use the who string as the name, when it cant find the whole string in the local or global macro symbol table it throws an error. The clue in the log is: WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference DATAS_08 not resolved. It telling you that it cant find DATAS_08 in either symbol table to resolve it to a value.
