How to check which version of a macro function is use

[alepage]

OPTIONS MAUTOSOURCE SASAUTOS=("/.../HYFIprep/sasmacro","/.../HYFIp/sasmacro","/.../prod/sasmacro");

%CHECK_ENV; /* pour trouver le numéro de l'environnement sur lequel la job batch est soumise */
%LET SUFENV     = &envN;  /* p pour prod - 1,2,3.... pour la dev */
%LET SASENV     = &envP;  /* Pour les sasyyyy*/

%put &=SUFENV;
%put &=SASENV;

Hello the same macro function name %check_env could be found in various subfolder and the version of the macro function could differ a little bit.  How to check the version that is trigger?

If I trigger the macro function %check_env from the subfolder /.../HYFIprep does the version of %check_env will be the one from /.../HYFIprep/sasmacro

If you set the system option mautocomploc, SAS will write a note to the log when it compiles an autocall macro that shows the file that was compiled, e.g.:

2   options mautocomploc ;
93   %put %lowcase(foo) ;
MAUTOCOMPLOC:  The autocall macro LOWCASE is compiling using the autocall source file C:\Program
            Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4\core\sasmacro\lowcase.sas.
foo

If you turn on the option mautolocdisplay, it will write similar information to the log every time an autocall macro is invoked.

To your second question, calling a macro from a subfolder does not effect which macro will be compiled.  When you call %check_env for the first time, SAS will look through the autocall libraries in the order they are listed in SASAUTOS, until it finds a file check_env.sas.

Other option I'd recommend would be creating a SAS package out of those macros. 

Here are two articles explaining why is it a good idea:

As long as you have not modified the SASAUTOS setting since the time that it was used to find the macro and compile it you could use this macro.

https://github.com/sasutils/macros/blob/master/maclist.sas

For every compiled macro it will hunt through the paths listed in the SASAUTOS option and find the first file with a name that matches the name of the compiled macro.

The result is a SAS dataset.

  attrib MACRO length=$32  label='Macro name';
  attrib FOUND length=3    label='Found? (0/1)';
  attrib FILE  length=$36  label='Filename';
  attrib DNAME length=$200 label='Directory name';

Another option that I'm using frequently for autocall macros: options mautolocdisplay;

With this option a log message get printed that tells you where the macro has been compiled from whenever you use the macro.
