dummy question about how to call a macro variable in a title statement.

%macro m(name=, data=);

ods listing close;

ods rtf file=".../l_&name..rtf";

title '&name listing'; *** how can I call the "name" variable in title statement?

proc print data=&data noobs;

var usubjid visit result ;

run;

ods rtf close;

ods listing;

%mend;

%m(bmi, demo);

Repeat until nauseated: Macro variables do not resolve inside single quotes.

title '&name listing';

should be

title "&name listing";

Thanks! Should have checked for that.
