Hi @PaigeMiller,

U guessed almost right. %FREQ is a project specific macro to take care of steps from getting a few things done including frequency and further restructuring.However, here my concern involves how to read categorical variables one by one(eg: lets say: sex race disease_status etc.) and i need to use those variables one by one to pass in to %freq(predesigned macro) to finally get different outputs and later combining them (pretty much like a set command to stack up output datasets one upon another. I know, that this thing can be done by using proc freq macro that you have mentioned but i want to use specifically the study designed macro out of compulsion.
Hope you understand and suggest something on this.

Cheers,
Ram

Change the code I wrote to loop the calls to %FREQ. The logic is the same. Loop over the variable names as I have done, selecting one at a time, and then include %FREQ inside the loop.
