Hi..

The %SYSGET function returns the value as a character string. If the value is truncated or the variable is not defined on the operating environment, %SYSGET displays a warning message in the SAS log.

Ex:

%let person=%sysget(USER);

%put User is &person;


When these statements execute for user ABCDEF, the following
is written to the SAS log: 

User is abcdef

Thanks..
