Using arithmetic in a macro variable

[kaitlineolson7]

Hi all!

If I were to create a macro variable like below, when I run %PUT &=Variable, it simply returns 15+85. Is there a way to evaluate the equation and return 100 instead?

%LET Variable = 15+85;

Thank you!

Integer arithmetic: %eval, floating point %sysevalf

%let variable = 15 + 85;

%put %eval(&variable.);
