problem with macro!

Thanks for the help. I used the /* */ and I still get the same error message. Here is my code and the log error that follows. In a Macro does my if-then statement take a different format?

%macro Split(varname=);
/***Ever ***/
if (grup=1 and f&varname ge 1) then &varname.m=1;
else if (grup=1 and g&varname ge 1) then &varname.m=1;
else if (grup=1 and h&varname ge 1) then &varname.m=1;
%mend;
%Split(varname=mim);
run;

Again, you are not sharing your COMPLETE SAS code that is enter entered or generated from other SAS code. I do not see a %MEND statement, specifically.

You are using DATA step statements such as IF so you must invoke the macro from within a DATA step or a DATA statement must be contained within the macro.
