How to use the macro catalog not named "sasmacr"?

[zhaosi]

Hi:

    I want to use the macro catalog not named "sasmacr".

Firstly, I create a macro.

libname test "d:\test";
options sasmstore=test sasautos=(macrfile sasautos) mstored mautosource spool;
%macro test /store source;
proc print data=sashelp.class;
run;
%mend test;

Secondly, I close the SAS and rename the file "D:\test\sasmacr.sas7bcat" to "D:\test\macr.sas7bcat". And then submit the code as follow. But it's error.

libname test "d:\test";
filename macrfile catalog 'test.macr';
options sasmstore=test sasautos=(macrfile sasautos) mstored mautosource spool;
%test;

On SAS 9.1.3 (in the newer versions I don't know if they persist) there are several restrictions on stored compiled macros:

• Sasmacr is the only catalog in which compiled macros can be stored. You can create a catalog named Sasmacr in any SAS library. You should not rename this catalog or its entries.
• You cannot copy stored compiled macros across operating systems. You must copy the source program and re-create the stored compiled macro.
• The source cannot be re-created from the compiled macro. You should retain the original source program. For convenience, you can store the source program in an autocall library. Alternatively, you can store the source program as a source entry in the same catalog as the compiled macro.
