Hi All,
Does anybody know if there is a statement or option to keep keywords colours whithin a macro?
Regards
Paolo
I don't think so. The reason being is that macro code isn't actually code until it has been parsed by the pre-processor. Simplest way is to write your code, then copy over to a macro and change for parameters.
I recently inherited some code when I changed jobs.
There was a large macro as the main process. It had a rather annoying %macro _; %mend _; at the end of the %macro line.
It wasn't until I deleted them that I realised that all of the code within the macro had the keywords colour coded.
Reinstating them made the colours return!
e.g
%macro stuff(); %macro _; %mend _;
data thing2;
set thing1;
run;
%mend;
%macro stuff();
data thing2;
set thing1;
run;
%mend;
Does this help?
