*** For Numeric to character ***;

Proc Sql noprint; Select count(distinct type) into: dc_cnt_num from &dcds.var where type =1; Quit;

%if &dc_cnt_num > 0 %then %do;

data &dcds.var_Num;

Set &dcds.var;

if type =1;

do i = 1 to &dc_cnt_num ;

newname=trim(left(name))||"_DC";

End;

Run;

proc sql noprint;

select trim(left(name)), trim(left(newname)),

trim(left(name))||'='||trim(left(newname))

from &dcds.var_Num;

quit;

data &dcds;

set &dcds;

If you just run this program with one additional statement, you see what code is generated by the macro.

Add this statement ahead of the first line in your program and you see exactly what happens:

OPTIONS MPRINT;
