sas code for multiple prompt value

[Ramgem]

Hi,
I had a problem with writing the sas code in stored process.
Value IN (&integermultiplevalueprompt);
Is that true? And why it takes only the first variable and not all the integer list.

I think that if you want to used in a macro, you must create macro with option minoperator.
%macro example()/ minoperator;

%mend;

In case you have SAS Enterprise Guide available you can use the query builder to create a query that will subset the data based on your prompt. See Screenshot below. I have marked the relevant things when building a filter for a prompt.

A multiple value prompt will create more than one macro variable. Find more information on this topic in the doc here http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/stpug/68399/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n1ffjd8bu6we10n1neag...

As @BrunoMueller mentioned, the key point is that multiple value prompts create multiple macro variables, not a single variable holding a list of values.  I use a macro to create the list I want, something like:

%macro ConcatenateSelectionList
  (prompt
  ,dlm=%str( )
  );

%local i return ;

%if &&&prompt._Count >= 2 %then %do i = 1 %to &&&prompt._Count ;
  %if &i=1 %then %let return=&&&prompt&i ; 
  %else          %let return=&return&dlm&&&prompt&i ;   
%end ;
%else %if &&&prompt._Count = 1 %then %do ;
  %let return=&&&prompt ;
%end ;
%else %if &&&prompt._Count = 0 %then %do ;
  %let return= ; %*null ;
%end ;
%else %put ER%str()ROR: USER &=&prompt._Count;

&return

%mend ConcatenateSelectionList;
