Hi! I can't understand what this statement does:

remsas=symget('remsas')


I have read that symget takes the value of a macrovariable but i can't find this remsas variable, can you help me? thanks

symget returns the value of a macro variable during DATA step execution

see the example, i have a macro var called macrovarname and i want to use her value in a data step variable called datstep_var.

%let macrovarname=sample info;

data sample;
length datstep_var $ 20;
datstep_var=symget('macrovarname');
run;



i hope it help 😄

The SAS DOC links below provide explanation about SAS macro variables, especially considering "local" and "global" scope application.
