Creating a macro Variable using %Let statement.

[rnmishra]

Is it possible to create  a macro variable this way

%LET  i= 40 LT  Score LE 60;

So that if I have a data set  have

Data have;

INPUT SN Score;

DATALINES;

1     25

2     30

3     80

4     76

5     35

6     50

7     40

8     35

; 

  And Want,

DATA Want;

SET Have;

Where &I;

RUN;

I made some silly attempts, does not seem to work.

Any help would be highly appreciated!

Show us the error messages you are getting.

At a guess, it might work with %LET SN = etc etc ;

This is the error

ERROR: Open code statement recursion detected.

This error is usually generated when you forget the semicolon on the end of a macro statement.

Close your session and start afresh. 

BTW a closer look at your code would lead me to retract my previous "guess". 

It should work in a new session.
