%DO is not as flexible as DO.

Make a list and loop over an index into the list.

Note: the %UNQUOTE() is because sometimes the parser can get confused by this type of syntax and treat the XYZ and %SCAN() as separate tokens.

%let suffix=1 2 3 8 10;

data x ;

  set

%do i=1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&suffix,%str( )));

  %unquote(xyz%scan(&suffix,&i,%str( )))

%end;

  ;

run;
