What does this mean or do in sas?

%_eg_conditional_dropds(WORK."%STR(QUERY_391_MOBILE PHONE)"n);

This calls a SAS macro (which obviously has already been defined) named

%_eg_conditional_dropds

The macro requires one argument, which is:

WORK."%STR(QUERY_391_MOBILE PHONE)"n

Beyond that, we can't say because we don't know what the macro does.

It's a macro supplied by Enterprise Guide that is used to remove datasets that may already exist.
