Question -I am ruuning the above code and it seems that code is resloving the macro varibale table no but due to pass through method it is showing above error

PROC Star

This is just a guess but some databases don't like double quotes so try this:

 

AND v.name = %str(%')&table_no%str(%')
Astounding
PROC Star

If that gives you trouble, apply %unquote:

 

AND v.name = %unquote(%str(%')&table_no%str(%'))
