Hi SAS-C,

Just FYI, the macroArray package [ver. 1.3.0] is available in SASPAC now.

Changes:

Four new parameters in the %do_over() macro: check, rephrase, trigger, and unq. See "Details" section below.
Minor updates in the %array() macro.
Documentation updated and refreshed.

For detailed description of changes see releases notes.

A "sneak-peak" example:

/*
%loadPackage(macroArray)
*/

/* macro array V with variables names list */
  %array(V[4] ("a" "b" "c" "d"), macarray=Y)

/* test data sets*/
  data test;
    array x{*} %do_over(V) (1:&VN.);
  run;
 
/* use %do_over for quick rename */ 
  proc datasets nolist noprint lib=work;
    modify test12;
      rename 
        %do_over(V,rephrase = ?=new_?) /* e.g., a=a_new */
      ;
    run;
  quit;
  
  data _null_;
    set test;
    put _ALL_;
  run;

All the best

Bart
