Create a Macro Variable (REQUIRED)

potato — Wed, 10 Jun 2020 06:18:26 GMT

I am trying to do the activities in lesson 6 but nothing appears on the output folder despite using the code %let outpath="/home/userid/EPG194/output";
run;

this is the log of the code :

1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

73 %let outpath="~/EPG194/output";

74 run;

76 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

Hi,

Please detail the 'activity' and the 'lesson' you are talking about

You only set a macro variable. Since the macro variable is not used later to create code, nothing happens.
