Call Macros without compiling them - Macro Library

89974114 — Fri, 23 Mar 2018 16:07:36 GMT

I want to find a way to be able to run macros without compiling them first, Currently I've been using the typical autocall and library method:

options mautosource sasautos=MacLib;

filename MacLib "C:\Users\Your.Name.Here\Documents\Engine\Macro_Library";

The macros are saved in that file path folder with the names matching the macro e.g.

MacroOne.Sas

%MacroOne;

However, I just can't seem to get them to run. How can I make it such that I can run macros and not have to compile before starting a session?

Define the filename first, then use it in the options.

Thanks, no wonder I thought I was going mad, it was working before.
