Hi All,
If I have this format
proc format;
VALUE $DOM
'AE' = 'USUBJID AETERM AESTDTC'
'CE' = 'USUBJID CETERM CESTDTC'
'CM' = 'USUBJID CMTRT CMROUTE CMSTDTC'
'DD' = 'USUBJID'
'DM' = 'USUBJID'
;
run;
I have the macro variables which take the value AE, CE etc, how can I definy a new macro variable which will take 'USUBJID AETERM AESTDTC' for AE??
Thanks
For example
data _null_; call symputx("newmacrovariable",put("&origmacrovariable",$dom.)); run;
As a side issue (but it may be relatively important), you don't normally apply formats to macro variables, and it may be there's an easier way to achieve whatever it is you are doing without macro variables, or without formats. I can say more because I'd need a lot more details about what you are doing.

%let newvar = %sysfunc(putc(&oldvar, $dom));
