List of macrovariables for IF THEN

Hi all,

Could you please say what is an equivalent of the following construction (that is not functioning):

%if &macrovariable in (A B C D E F) %then %do;
...
%end;

The syntax "in (A B C D E F)" is not functioning here. What is the correct one?

Hello,

The in operator exists for macros but it has to be set with option minoperator :

option minoperator;

%macro test(macrovariable);

%if &macrovariable in (A B C D E F) %then %do;
%put Hello;
%end;
%else %do;
%put Sorry;
%end;


%mend;

%test(A);
%test(G);
