more macros within one macro

hi all,

Can i have more macro codes written within one and then by callin the main one i can execute all?

Also,i have a dataset out of each i am supposed to run 10 queries.Can I write a macro that would export the results of all these 10 queries into one workbook of excel?

Not all of the 10 queries have the same column names.And if macro cant,can i do the same then without macro?

I am need to have the results of all the queries on one workbook so i can easily populate some tables in excel

Please anyone

A macro can call anything you want it to.

%macro big ;

%small1;

%small2;

%mend big;

Look at using ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP to generate output into multiple sheets of an excel file.

Yes you can, but you'll have different tables is all, they won't stack up.

ods tagsets.excelxp file="c:\temp\test.xls";

proc print data=sashelp.class;

run;

proc print data=sashelp.cars;

run;

ods tagsets.excelxp close;
