SAS macro-s are possible change code.<BR />Perhaps you can set all access on data/programs read-only and run the code with having obs=0 being set.</P><P>The code generation done as part of dataset content will be missed.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; </P></BODY></HTML> Tue, 19 Aug 2014 18:33:16 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Resolving-Programs-and-Macro-Calls/m-p/167488#M263929 jakarman 2014-08-19T18:33:16Z
