Hello
I have an external input data set with varaible "YYMM" that includes in this example 4 rows.
The target is to create 4 parameters called: m1,m2,m3,m4.
parameter &m1 will recieve value of varaible "YYMM" in row 1.
parameter &m2 will recieve value of varaible "YYMM" in row 2.
parameter &m3 will recieve value of varaible "YYMM" in row 3.
parameter &m4 will recieve value of varaible "YYMM" in row 4.
I am trying to it but I don't receive the requested result.
Please find the code.
thanks
Ron

Just to be clear, what you are trying to create are macro variables, not parameters. Change your data step to
Data tbl2;
SET Raw_tbl;
VAR_NAME='m'||strip(_N_);
call symputx(VAR_NAME,YYMM);
Run;
