Hello everyone,
Why if I use (5 or 6 )to replace (3 and 4) will NOT get 'a' in the SAS log?
Thanks!
Mike
/*1.*/%let g=2;
/*2.*/%let cc3=a;
/*3.*/%let k= %eval(&g+1);
/*4. */%put &&cc&k;
/*5.*/%put &&cc%eval(&g+1);
/*6.*/%put &cc%eval(&g+1);
cause '&' resolves before %eval computation.
&&cc%eval(&g+1) -> &cc%eval(2+1) -> 'warning: cc not resolved' ->&cc3

The %eval is just going to concatenated to the resolution of the macro variable &&cc or &cc. Compound macro variable resolution is not available in that syntax.

%let g=2;
%let cc3=a;
%put %unquote(%nrstr(&cc)%eval(&g + 1));
awesome!
Thank you!
Hi Mike,
You might also use the following alternative:
%put %superq(cc%eval(&g+1));

That is fantastic!
Thanks!
