How to obtain macro code for dftest and logtest (not just info on the call parameters)

How to obtain macro code for dftest and logtest (not just info on the call parameters)? I would like to extend the code.

These macros are in the sasautos subdirectory of your SASROOT.

Run this first:

%put %sysget(SASROOT);

to get the base location of your SAS installation; add /sasautos/ to that, and the name of the macro file.

This retrieves the source code of the macro on SAS On Demand:

filename maccode "/pbr/sfw/sas/940/SASFoundation/9.4/sasautos/dftest.sas";

data _null_;
infile maccode;
input;
put _infile_;
run;

Thank you. I am going to look into sasautos directory a bit more. MM

Thank you very much Kurt!

This was enlightening (truely!) ... just let me remark, that SASROOT can be resolved automatically by the filename line ... i.e. the following code also works:

filename maccode "!SASROOT/sasautos/dftest.sas"; 
 
data _null_; 
infile maccode; 
input; 
put _infile_; 
run;
