When performing a query loop on a Proc SQL statement, is there any way to print the macro variables within the log for each iteration?

%macro queryloop;

%do m = 1 %to 2; /* month */

%do r = 1 %to 8;  /* regions */

proc sql;

connect to odbc;

%if &m * &r = 1 %then create table C.Table as

%else insert into C.Table;

Select and Where Statement here

quit;

%end;

%end;

%mend;

I am hoping to print the value of m*r in the log as the code loops through. Is this possible?

Thanks,

Srikar

Use a %PUT statement.

%macro queryloop;

proc sql; 

  connect to odbc; 

  %do m = 1 %to 2; /* month */ 

    %do r = 1 %to 8;  /* regions */ 

%put M=&m R=&r M*R=%eval(&m * &r) ;


      %if &m * &r = 1 %then create table C.Table as ;

      %else insert into C.Table; 

      ... Select and Where Statement here ...

      ;

    %end;

  %end;

quit;

%mend queryloop;
