Mostly what you do is get rid of the macro language. Almost all of this gets accomplished without macros at all. Almost all.

Here's a starting point to get you moving in the right direction. It's not everything you need, but it's much closer to what your final program should look like. Your first DATA step contains:

if sex="M" then flag=1;

else flag=0;

That should be expanded to include:

if sex="M" then do;

Subject=

CT=

BCC=

FROM=

SENDER=

REPLYTO=

SALUTATION = 'DEAR MR. ';

end;

else do;

etc.

DATA steps manipulate data. Macro language control which data step statements should execute. Let the DATA step do the work that it should.
