Hi Teland,

{Code}

%macro ;

-----------

%put _local_;

%mend;

If you understand the _local_. Its displays/works only the macro variables which are present inside the macro.

{Code}

%let a=10;

%macro ;

-----------

%put _Global_; or %put _user_;

%mend;

if you want to diaplay the macro variables outside the macro which are present (Global macros variables) you need to use _global_;

Hope this helps you if you still dont understand let me know.

Duplicate post, please use your other post on the same topic:

Unfortunately, the change needs to occur in your expectations not in the code itself.  This statement appears outside of the macro definition:

%let test1=30;

Therefore, &TEST1 is a global macro variable, and won't appear in the list of %LOCAL macro variables.

[RTelang]

%let a=10 b=12 c=15;
%macro test(varlist=a b c test1);
string=(varlist= a b c test1);
%do varlist=&a %to test1;

%put _local_ ;
%end;
%mend test;
options symbolgen mprint;
%test

will this work or retify it!

i want to display varlist= a b c test1 to the log with their values
