Hello all,
I came across utility macros and standard macros when reading pharmaceutical papers. But I never heard of them before. Any share is welcome. Thanks.

My guesses would be:
Utility macro's are likely a touch more generic, e.g add commas between macro variable lists, or retrieve information on a specific file
Standard macros, would be macros that you use to do accomplish some sort of requirements but is usually more complex and has multiple steps, e.g A reporting macro to prepare financial end of month statements.
And someone else can interpret those entirely differently.

@Reeza Thanks for your sharing. I searched them online several times, but never got specific definitions. Maybe the reason is what you explained. Thanks a lot.

In pharmaceutical area they probably a distinguishing between something that is of generic utility for working with SAS data of any type and specific macros that produce company standard reports. So you might have a "standard" macro for producing a summary of adverse event report that calls a "utility" macro to produce the title statements.
