I would like to save all the macros permanently defined as part of the complete exercise and list all the macros. I have 6 macros which I want to save and retrieve in this session:

%macro one(a,b,c)
%macro gchart(dseti,Weight,Gender)
%macro plot(dsetin,height,weight)
%macro one(a,b,c,strtpt,endpt)
%macro test
%macro name(dsetin,year,revenue)
%macro import_myfile(i=)

I have the code below and the error message follows it.

options mstored sasmstore=macross; 
libname mjstore "C:\Users\komal\Desktop\Advanced SAS"; 
 proc catalog cat=mjstore.macross;
      contents;
      title "Default Storage of SAS Macros";
     quit

Error: Catalog "MJSTORE.MACROSS" not found

Please let me know your advice on how to solve it. Thank you for your time.

This:

Error: Catalog "MJSTORE.MACROSS" not found

tells you that there is no file

macross.sas7bcat

in directory

C:\Users\komal\Desktop\Advanced SAS

Maybe you wanted to use

MJSTORE.MACROS

?

Avoid using compiled catalogs, save macro's as text files and include them or put them as part of the auto call.  Compiled libraries are bad, compatability between systems/bits is poor, code is hidden making updating or general use so much harder.

If your macros are not declared with the SOURCE option it's hard to get the code back out. Did you declare them with the SOURCE option?
