Accessing two macro variables ie nested macro variables

[sas_it]

I used two macro variables and want to use it together but it's not working.
Eg. &p.check &type
Pls help

What is contained in those macro variables, and what did you want to get out of the combination?

I want to use two macro variables together to avoid repetition of text.

Hi:

  As @Kurt_Bremser explained, it is very useful to know what the macro variables contain and what type of resolution you expect that you're not getting. When I use my own values with those macro variables, I find that the macro facility resolves the variable values correctly both with and without the space before the use of &TYPE.
