How to use IF condition in remote server and in macros

Sharathr — Tue, 02 Jan 2018 19:43:44 GMT

Hi ,

The below code is throwing an error even after using an nrstr to convert the if statement as text to be used in remote server. Kindly let me know how to make this work
%macro test;
Rsubmit;
%let country =USA;
%nrstr(%if country=USA %then %do;)
%put "the country is &country.";
Endrsubmit;
%mend test;
%test;

i think you are missing closing parenthesis and &

%let country =USA;
%nrstr(%if &country=USA %then %doSmiley )
%put the country is &country.; /*quotes are not needed in a macro statement that executes at compile time*/
Endrsubmit;
%mend test;
%test;

Make it work locally and then add back your RSUBMIT blocks. The RSUBMIT are not the issue here.

And formatting your code makes it much easier to read and follow.

%macro test;
%let country =USA;

%if &country=USA %then 
    %put "the country is &country.";
%else
    %put "Condition FAIL";

%mend test;

%test;
