Hi all,
I have the following macro variables:
day_1_start = 'something'
day_2_start = 'somethingelse'
I am now trying to call them in a loop, and so (within a macro loop) have
%do i = 1 %to 5;
var = var * &day_&i._start ;
%end;
but it's not working. The log says 'WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference DAY_ not resolved.'
Any advice?
Thanks,
Marco
Put an extra & in from of &day:
var = var * &&day_&i._start ;
That causes the first pass to resolve to &day_1_start, and the second pass resolves to something.
