Your Enterprise Guide controls the Workspace Server process by sending SAS code snippets. As such, it can create macro variables from user prompts. But it does not retransfer those macro variables back into it's own data structures, AFAIK.

But once you have defined a task, you can copy the code from the Code tab and use it in a Code node within the project. In this code, replace filenames etc. with macro variables at will.
