I want to create one macro variable called 'LIBRARY' which I want to use it to the next step to query the permanent table. Assume I've a Job Name as below.
%let etls_jobName = IF_04_J_PRT_TRA_INSURANCE_RECORD_DELIVERY;
or
%let etls_jobName = IF_04_J_PRC_TRA_INSURANCE_RECORD_DELIVERY;
or
%let etls_jobName = IF_04_J_PRT_LOA_INSURANCE_RECORD_DELIVERY;
or
%let etls_jobName = IF_04_J_PRC_LOA_INSURANCE_RECORD_DELIVERY;
And
If the Job Name contains PRT_TRA then I want the macro variable to resolve to IFPRTEXT
If the Job Name contains PRC_TRA then I want the macro variable to resolve to IFPRCEXT
If the Job Name contains PRT_LOA then I want the macro variable to resolve to IFPRTTRA
If the Job Name contains PRC_LOA then I want the macro variable to resolve to IFPRCTRA
I never created the macro variable with some conditions. Appericiate if someone of you shed some light on this.
Example:
data _null_;
if find("&etis_jobname",'PRT_TRA')>0 then call symputx('library','IFPRTEX');
/* additional if statements here as needed */
run;
