Hi,
I was wondering if its possible to embed a parameter into the title statement.
I have the parameter
%let cur_monthend = 20110731 ;
and I want to have a title statement before my proc means something similar to ,
Title ' Summary Report &cur_monthend' ;
but of course the above doesnt work, the &cur_monthend comes out as a text, I was wondering if it was possible so that it uses the parameter to output the value so the title would look something like
"Summary Report 20110731"
Thanks for your help.
Use double quotation marks, not single, macro variables will not resolve inside single quotation marks.
