Hi SAS Users,

Can we use like this conditions in %LET stements which i can reference later?

%LET cond =(Indicaor in (&MOD1 ,&MOD2) OR indicator in (&MOD1,&MOD2) OR Indicator in (&MOD1,&MOD2));

Thanks,

Ana

You probably can, but would need a few conditions:

The MINOPERATOR option must be set properly to permit macro language to use the IN operator
INDICATOR must be replaced by an actual set of characters. It cannot refer to a DATA step variable.
%EVAL would have to be applied to the expression to the right of the equal sign.

I'm assuming it would work then, but haven't tested it.
