The code below works just fine:
libname SPY 'e:\00\spy' ;
Log output: 1 2 libname SPY 'e:\00\spy' ; NOTE: Libref SPY was successfully assigned as follows: Engine: V9 Physical Name: e:\00\spy
The code below does not work:
%let etf = spy ; libname &etf. 'e:\00\&etf.' ; Log output: 1 2 %let etf = spy ; 3 4 libname &etf. 'e:\00\&etf.' ; NOTE: Library SPY does not exist.
