Underscore is part of my symbols. When I included underscore in my code as O_NAM1 = PROPCASE(I_NAM1, " .&lt;(+|&amp;!$*);¬-/,%_`"), I got a warning "Apparent invocation of macro _ not resolved". How can I include underscore in my code? When I kept the underscore in single quotes, pgm considered single quote as a valid symbol and checked the data for single quote. I don't want to search data for single quote.</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> <P>Thanks in advance!!</P> Tue, 21 Mar 2017 16:07:51 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/342983#M78670 gandikk 2017-03-21T16:07:51Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/342986#M78671 <P>%_ would be a valid name for a macro.&nbsp; To fix the problem, just switch the order within your string:&nbsp; _% instead of %_</P> Tue, 21 Mar 2017 16:15:34 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/342986#M78671 Astounding 2017-03-21T16:15:34Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/342996#M78677 <P>Or use single quotes to delimit the string.</P> Tue, 21 Mar 2017 16:53:32 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/342996#M78677 ballardw 2017-03-21T16:53:32Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/343555#M78877 <P>Thank you!!</P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Thu, 23 Mar 2017 01:11:02 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/343555#M78877 gandikk 2017-03-23T01:11:02Z https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Programming/Propcase-with-underscore-in-the-second-argument/m-p/343556#M78878 Thank you!!
