Hello everyone,
I created a macrovariable within a macro to do some checks. After that there is some more SAS Coding. I need to have &report_date. and &report_date_prev. as global macrovariables because they are also used in my SAS-coding after the macro, because right now after executing the %macro check, the macro variables are not definded for the whole proram
I can not build the macro around the whole code.
%Macro check; data _null_; report_date_prev=intnx("month",today(),-1,"E"); call symputx ("report_date_prev",report_date_prev); run; data current_month; set SOME TABLE; if start_date > &report_date_prev.; run; proc sql noprint; select min(start_date) format 8. into :start_date from current_month; quit; data _NULL_ ; report_date=intnx("weekday",intnx("month",today(),0,"B"),2); call symputx ("report_date", report_date); run; %if %eval(&start_date. le &report_date.) %then %do; %put Data ok; %end; %else %do; %PUT ERROR: Data is not updated; %abort; %end; %mend; %check;
Thank you for your help
Hi,
one way:
call symputx ("report_date", report_date, "G"); /* G - global */
other way:
%GLOBAL report_date;
data ...;
call symputx ("report_date", report_date);
