I’m googing how to pass a variable from one macro to another and having a hard time finding good documentation on it.  Concept code is below:

Please advise:

 

%macro createYearsOuter(yearVar);
%CreateYears(&yearVar, 'S');
%CreateYears(&yearVar, 'F');
%mend;

 

%createYearsOuter(1617);
%createYearsOuter(1516);

That should work fine, but I'm partial to CALL EXECUTE these days. 

Is there something there not working?

Reeza, thanks for pointing out that the code works.  I thought it wasn't due to a different error.
