Using Macro function in DO LOOP

Ken_oy — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:33:34 GMT

I created a macro function: %gcheck(i);
and I need to run

%gcheck(1);
%gcheck(2);
%gcheck(3);
....
%gcheck(1000);

how can I do this using DO LOOP?

Thank you so much!!

To use the %do ... %loop, It must be placed inside another macro:

%macro loop_gcheck;

%do I=1 %to 1000;
%gcheck(&I);
%end;

%mend loop_gcheck;

%loop_gcheck;
