Can we create a macro variable with a special character in the macro variable name and resolve it.
Example :
Proc sql;
select count(*) into : t1a+t2a from sashelp.class;
quit;
%put &t1a+t2a;
Well, Maxim 1 is always your best bet, but Maxim 4 can also show the way.
Or, look it up in the Macro Language documentation, such as this document specifically #2 and #3 on page 26 and most relevant, #5 on page 27:
