Hi All,
%let m=delhi, 1;
data test;
m1=%scan(&var,1,%bquote(,));
proc print;
run;
I want that m1 takes value delhi in the data step. Please suggest.

so you want m1 to get the value from the variabel delhi and not the value "delhi"?
Like this?
%let m=delhi, 1;
data test;
delhi = 'Aruba';
m1=%scan(&m,1);
proc print;
run;
why not just use scan?
m1=scan(&m",1,',');
Hi Fredrik,
It doesnt work, I could have used that but if you take a look at the macro parameter then it creates a new variable called delhi which is the first occurence in the macro 'm and something that is not desired.
