This is simple...but I'm stumped. I have:
data ESRA.&month_label._&year_want; set ESRA.CURRENTMONTH; run;
This makes a dataset called MARCH_2019
I would like MARCH 2019 (note the no underscore). I have tried a bunch of different ways but I know the marco references can be a bit strange when spaces are concerned.
Thanks
Don't do that. You can put the space in the label.
data ESRA.&month_label._&year_want (label="&month_label. &year_want");
set ESRA.CURRENTMONTH;
run;
If you really want to then you will need to use a name literal.
options validmemname=extend;
data ESRA."&month_label. &year_want"n (label="&month_label. &year_want");
set ESRA.CURRENTMONTH;
run;

thanks all....I had forgotten about the space....I was asked to see if it could be done. Cheers!
