Macro code to export in excel

[anirudhs]

@Reeza and @Tom  i made this from loud thinking:

Thanks A ton for your help and suggestions to build the code.

this works fine and takes very short time for execution.

%macro city;
proc sql noprint;
select count (distinct city) into :cdnt from WORK.DAC_3;
select distinct city into :city_1 - :city_%left(&cdnt.)
from WORK.DAC_3;
quit;

%let cnt = &cdnt;
%put &cnt &cdnt;
%do I = 1 %to &cnt;

proc export data= WORK.DAC_3 (where=(city = "&&CITY_&I"))
outfile= "\\10.4.1.205\Upload\DAC_&&CITY_&I"
dbms=xlsx 
replace;
%end;
%mend;

%city;

If you are trying the CALL EXECUTE() method then compare the code that you generated to what worked when you ran one example.

You should see the code in the SAS log with plus sign between the line numbers and the lines of code.
