Macro, get variable into code

skipper — Fri, 04 May 2012 09:31:12 GMT

I dont understand in the below code how do I put 'C' into the macro code? &strike goes in well, but &C does not?sert v

%MACRO want(strike, type);

DATA rawdata.have;

SET rawdata.euro;

where Indicator=&type and Strike=%SYSEVALF(&strike*0.001)

run;

%MEND GetOptionsData;

%want(1575, C);

I get the log saying 'ERROR: Variable C is not on file RAWDATA.EURO.'

Hi,

%MACRO want(strike, type);

DATA rawdata.have;

SET rawdata.euro;

where Indicator="&type" and Strike=%SYSEVALF(&strike*0.001)

run;

%MEND GetOptionsData;

%want(1575, C);

Thanks,

Shiva
