Hi,
I've been struggling with this issue quite many times and haven't find a solution yet.
It's easiest to show the issue by little code:
%macro Message(message = , caller = &sysmacroname);
%put ERROR: &caller - &message;
%mend Message;
%macro CallerMacro;
%Message(message = Text)
%mend CallerMacro;
%CallerMacro;
Issue here is that &sysmacroname resolves to MESSAGE, not CALLERMACRO. Is there any way to automatically determine which macro was a caller macro? End users doesn't like to write "caller = CallerMacro" for every message.
