I have code that produces these statistics. In that code I assign the year value to a variable in a data step.<BR /> <BR /> But I would like to pass the year value when the program starts running. I don't want to be forced to change code text each new year.<BR /> <BR /> In any "ordinary" programming language that would be easy.<BR /> <BR /> How can that be made with SAS code?<BR /> <BR /> /Anne Tue, 17 Mar 2009 07:26:32 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Assigning-parameter-values/m-p/77041#M1087 deleted_user 2009-03-17T07:26:32Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Assigning-parameter-values/m-p/77042#M1088 Sorry, I put the message in the wrong category.<BR /> <BR /> /Anne Tue, 17 Mar 2009 07:36:29 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Microsoft-Integration-with-SAS/Assigning-parameter-values/m-p/77042#M1088 deleted_user 2009-03-17T07:36:29Z
