Hi,
As I am learning to write macros - I am making lots of mistakes - so I want to work very interactively with the writing, compiling and testing of macros. The problem is that when they get compiled and stored - any further changes I make just causes an error - so I need to manually delete the compiled macro before I can continue. I have been using the sasauto option to tell my code base where to look for my macros (i.e. the source code) - as I dont know any other way to let it know where I am keeping my macros...although having said that - I have tried to just use %include - pointing it to my source code - but...it still compiles it to the Work.Sasmacr folder.
When I try to manually delete my compiled macro from the Work.Sasmacr folder - it tells me that I cant, with the following error: Entry lock is not available for mymacro.macro in catalog Work.Sasmacr, lock held by DMS process.
Any pointer gratefully received,
Best wishes
Davo
