Hi All,
I have 4 macro variables which I want to use in Teradata SQL passthrough, since TD doesnt recognise double quotes, my challenge is to create them in single quotes.somehow I am unable to do it since few of them have missing values as well.
My macro variables are like this
%let var1=abc;
%let var2=pqr;
%let var3=;
%let var4=new;
I want to use it something like this in my proc sql
case when var1 eq 'abc' and var2 eq 'pqr' and var3 eq '' and var4 eq 'new' then true;
Any help is really appreciated
Got it working with something like this
%let var1_n=%unquote(%bquote(')&var1%bquote('));
Does something like this help:
%let var1 = abc;
%put case when var1 eq %str(%')&var1%str(%');
%LET VAR1='ABC';
%LET VAR2='PQR';
%LET VAR3='';
%LET VAR4='NEW';
PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE TEST AS
SELECT *,
CASE WHEN VAR1 EQ &VAR1. AND VAR2 EQ &VAR2. AND VAR3 EQ &VAR3. THEN 1 END AS FLAG
FROM HAVE
;
RUN;
Why not surround your macro variable values in single quotes?
Got it working with something like this
%let var1_n=%unquote(%bquote(')&var1%bquote('));
