Hello,
I would like to open dynamically Excel files using DDE and Macro Variables.
This is my code :
FILENAME xlAppli DDE "Excel|System" ;
SYSTASK COMMAND "Start Excel" ; DATA _NULL_ ; CALL SLEEP(3,1) ; RUN ; %let region=bretagne; data _null_; file xlAppli; put '[error(false)]'; put '[open(""C:\Users\Desktop\®ion..xls"")]'; run;
But it happens nothing.
Can someone help please?
Thank you.
Thanks I found the solution, I had to replace outer single quotes with double quotes :
SYSTASK COMMAND "Start Excel" ; FILENAME xlAppli DDE "Excel|System" ; DATA _NULL_ ; CALL SLEEP(3,1) ; RUN ; %let region=bretagne; data _null_; file xlAppli; put '[error(false)]'; put "[open(""C:\Users\Desktop\®ion..xls"")]"; run;
Thanks!
