Kenneth -
The first time your program attempts to call a macro SAS will
notice that it does not have a compiled macro with that name. It will
then scan the locations in the SASAUTOS option setting for the first
filename it can find that matches the macro name. It then includes
that file before it tries to call the macro.
So if you call %MYMAC then SAS will look for a file named
'mymac.sas' in the 'C:\dir1\dir2\src' directory. The second time you
call %MYMAC it will just use the already compiled version.
