Is it possible to replace this statement within PROC SQL:
case when variable in ('1', '2', '3', '4') then ....
with a macro of the form
case when variable in (%macroname(4)) then ...
So the macro would populate the set with the positive integers (in character form) 1 through 4 (or any positive number in place of 4).
Thanks, and sorry if this has been asked before.
While it is very possible in any case, it is easier if you are willing to:
Here is one possible approach using the simplifying assumptions above:
%macro macroname (limit);
%local i;
%do i=1 %to &limit;
"&i"
%end;
%mend macroname;

Awesome, Thanks!
