Hi everyone,
I need assistance in solving this problem. I will like to use macro function to remove the parenthesis in a macro variable.
For example : I have (pat run track club ) as a macro variable &var and i want to use the &var in another code but the () must be off.
I tried using %sysfunc(tranwrd(&var,()%str(),%str() )) but it is not working. My code may be wrong .
Please assist to correct and solve the problem.
Thanks.
Compress has already been suggested, in your other related thread.
7 %let v = (pat run track club);
8 %let v = %sysfunc(compress(%superQ(v),%str(%(%))));
9 %put NOTE: V=&v;
NOTE: V=pat run track club
