If you created AAA.sas file by:

  

data out;
    file 'AAA.sas'   ...any options;
.......
run;

The answer to your question os positive. You can add at end:

    %include 'AAA.sas';

 

In case the creating code is like:

filename outf '..path...AAA.sas';
data out;
    file outf ...any options...;
  .......
run;

You can end by:

%include outf;

Thanks for your reply Shmuel.
When I am using %include 'AAA.sas' ; without MOD option its giving ERROR: File is in use. Seems during the creation of this file (AAA), it it remains open. Do we have to close this file.

Yes, ofcourse, file should be closed before %include.
