I have created a macro that creates a new table based on an SQL procedure that pulls data from some SQL tables. This macro is below and works without any problems as expected:
%macro Pull_Data_from_db(database, server, portid, tblname); %let libraryname = db; proc sql; connect to oledb (init_string="Provider=SQLOLEDB; Integrated Security=SSPI; Initial Catalog=&database.; data source=&server." schema=dbo); create table &tblname. as select * from connection to oledb ( SQL code; quit; %mend;
I next want to create a macro that will take this macro putting it into a loop and run it on multiple tables. So far I have put the function into a new function and tried running it in that function and rather than just connecting I get a pop up asking to specify Data Link Properties.
%macro Pull_Multi_tables_from_db(database, server, portid, tblname); %Pull_Data_from_EDM(database, server, portid, tblname); %mend;
Is there a reason my macro is able to connect properly when run by itself but not when put into a second macro?
Sorry just realised I needed to put & on the front of the variables and . on the end in the second function.
%macro Pull_Multi_tables_from_db(database, server, portid, tblname); %Pull_Data_from_EDM(&database., &server., &portid., &tblname.); %mend;
