I know how to find and delete macro variables from the global symbol table with %symexist and %symdel.

For example:
%if %symexist(NewFileName) %then %symdel NewFileName;

But how can I search for the existance and delete a macro variable from a local symbol table. I'm at a loss.

Any ideas?

Sas local macro variable are disapearing as soon the macro is executed!

It's supposed to, by design.

Locals local to the macro and are equivalent to stack variables.

If you need persistence, then use a global variable.
