I am trying to execute this code in SAS EG:

%let check1 = C:\Datasets;
%let check2 = 2531-WB-31MAR21;

%include "%qtrim(&check1)\%qtrim(&check2)\setup_wb.sas";

and I get following Error:

I have no problem with including setup_wb.sas. It works fine except this error

This happens in the included code.

Please run that code again, with

options source2;

and post the log; use this button to copy/paste the log:

Do NOT post the log in a picture!

Thank you. The problem was in this statement:

%if &batch_shared.= %then %do;

correct code is:

%if "&batch_shared."="" %then %do;
