Hi there,

how do I have to change the code:

proc datasets memtype=data;

modify OUTPUT.OF_PRECEDING_NODE;

to tell SAS that it should modify the output of the preceding node without specifying the output dataset' name?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Regards

Have you tried using the symbolic data set name _LAST_?

Hi,

thanks for your answer. Unfortunately that didn't work. The point is, that I want to reuse the code in different projects and it should always refer to the preceding dataset.

Best regards
