Hello:
I have the follow macro program. I found the ‘&&state.may.xlsx’ could not be translated to ‘MDmay.xlsx’ during procedure. I have tried ‘&state.may.xlsx’ too, it still didn’t work. Please help, thanks.
%let State=MD;
%let folder='\\abc.org\HHE\SAS\report\SASfiles\&&state.may.xlsx';
%macro export;
%mend;
option symbolgen mprint;
%include"\\abc.org\HHE\SAS\report\SASfiles\ExportMacro.sas" / lrecl=32767 source2;
%export
SYMBOLGEN: && resolves to &.
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable I resolves to 21
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable X21 resolves to Settings
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable FOLDER resolves to
'\\abc.org\HHE\SAS\report\SASfiles\&&state.may.xlsx'
MPRINT(EXPORT): PROC EXPORT DATA= Settings
outfile='\\abc.org\HHE\SAS\report\SASfiles\&&state.may.xlsx' dbms=xlsx
replace;
MPRINT(EXPORT): WXLX;
SYMBOLGEN: && resolves to &.
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable I resolves to 21
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable X21 resolves to tblSettings
MPRINT(EXPORT): sheet= Settings;
MPRINT(EXPORT): run;
NOTE: The export data set has 384 observations and 2 variables.
NOTE: "\\abc.org\HHE\SAS\report\SASfiles\&&state.may.xlsx" file was
successfully created.
You need double quotes for macro variables to resolve.
