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

%put &m4;
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;
