Hi Teland,

{Code}

%macro ;

-----------

%put _local_;

%mend;

If you understand the _local_. Its displays/works only the macro variables which are present inside the macro.

{Code}

%let a=10;

%macro ;

-----------

%put _Global_; or %put _user_;

%mend;

if you want to diaplay the macro variables outside the macro which are present (Global macros variables) you need to use _global_;

Hope this helps you if you still dont understand let me know.

Unfortunately, the change needs to occur in your expectations not in the code itself. This statement appears outside of the macro definition:

%let test1=30;

Therefore, &TEST1 is a global macro variable, and won't appear in the list of %LOCAL macro variables.

%let a=10 b=12 c=15;
%macro test(varlist=a b c test1);
string=(varlist= a b c test1);
%do varlist=&a %to test1;

%put _local_ ;
%end;
%mend test;
options symbolgen mprint;
%test

will this work or retify it!

i want to display varlist= a b c test1 to the log with their values
