I wrote a macro code. When I ran the code it returned some error. I corrected the error and tried to run it again. The problem is that it does not run. When I checked the log, it simply lists my code again, but not run it. What's the problem? Thanks.

Hi jagadish. Yes, it will work if I close the session and open again. I don't want to do that since I have some dataset in the working directory and they are really big. I don't want to rerun them.

Yes, sometimes when doing Macro, DMS hangs. Beside restarting a new SAS session, some may find the following strings helpful, run them all.

Do you mean run them and then re-run macro? I will definitely try it tomorrow. THanks.
