Hi,

I have the following LET statement :

%LET test = %SYSFUNC(CATX(%STR(), inputfile,12)) ;
%put &test ;

the result is inputfile12 and this is correct.

When i use

%LET test = %SYSFUNC(CATX(%STR(), inputfile,04)) ;
%put &test ;

then i get inputfile4, but i want inputfile04.

How can i solve this?

Tx

Why not just get rid of the call to CATX?
%let test=04;

I assume you want to concatenate some strings. That is easy in macro
code.

%let name=fred;
%let suffix=04;
%let newname=&fred.&suffix;

Look at Z formats.
