When Running Macro: ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

I'm on SAS 9.4 TS Level 1M1

Help! I'm trying to write my first macro and I can't get ride of this error message! The code runs and the results seem to be correct but it still gives me this error. The proc sql statement runs without error when not in a macro. I've searched and found that this error seems to be related to either missing semi-colons (most likely) or the single quotes passed in the call but can't for the life of me figure out where in my code the problem is.

I have tried changing the %let for program to = "FFS" and =FFS (and changing the call to match). When = FFS I added quotes (tried both single and double) around &program in the where statements. Made no difference.

I tried a semi-colon at the end of the call statement, I tried it without the semi-colon.

here's the log, seems to indicate the problem is in the call statement?

@sbrent

The macro definition (%macro summarize; ) has no parameters, whereas the macro call %summarize (Sum_FFS_Billing, Data_billing_address, 'FFS') has 3 parameter values

The macro definition needs to be changed to accept parameters e.g.

$macro summarize(tblout, tblin, program) ;
