how to use %include to include my program in SAS STUDIO

morenayan — Thu, 25 Jul 2024 07:35:46 GMT

my question is about %include code, which is used in primary.sas to include my setup.sas, my goal is to set up a sas library named RAW. my code been as follows:

 *-----------first sentence in my primary.sas;
%include "/home/u63676684/template/myproject/Report/Macro/setup.sas";

*------------my setup.sas;
dm "log; clear;";
dm "out; clear;";
options missing = '' ;
libname _all_ clear ;                                                  
%let server=/home/u63676684/template;
%let project=myproject;
libname raw "&Server/&Project/data/rawdata";

1. when I run my setup.sas alone, RAW can be successfully set up as a sas library.

2. when I run my primary.sas to try to include my setup.sas, RAW cannot be created, without any ERROR or WARNING in my log, only with a NOTE: library “RAW” doesn't exist.

I have already checked all the pathname. They are set correctly.

Are there any points I should pay attention to? I'd appreciate it if you could point it out!🥹

my sas is set up in sas studio, macos

Submit this

*-----------first sentence in my primary.sas;
options mprint mlogic symbolgen;
%include "/home/u63676684/template/myproject/Report/Macro/setup.sas" / source2;

... and the LOG will tell you more.

thanks a lot,

as you say, the log tell me more: it seems like my macro project name is parsed as messy code

my setup.sas is coded as GB2312, my primary.sas is coded as UTF-8

so I change my code into

filename setup "/home/u63676684/template/myproject/Report/Macro/setup.sas" 
encoding='GB2312';
%include setup;

✅✅✅

Also use the SOURCE2 option so that the lines of code from the include file will appear in the SAS log. You can change it just for this particular include by adding it as an option on the %INCLUDE statement.

%include setup / source2 ;
