I am struggling the most simple SAS macro code. for some reason I cannot get this the call the variable income no matter what I try (quotes, removing underscore, etc.). here is my code. thanks for your help.

options symbolgen mprint;

data temp;

infile DATALINES dsd missover;

input count income_error;

CARDS;

1, 1,

1, 0,

1, 0,

;

run;

%macro one(pc);

proc means noprint data= temp;

var count &pc_error;

output out= &pc1

sum(count &pc_error) =

;

run;

%mend;

%one(income);

you have missed '.' to represent the macro variable to correctly. use the below code.

%macro one(pc);

proc means noprint data= temp;

var count &pc._error;

output out= &pc.1

sum(count &pc._error) =

;

run;

%mend;

%one(income);
