Hi!
For some reason the first parameter reads the whole string is not separated by a comma. How can I solve this?
%macro mmm(p_aram,p_aram2);
%put >>> &p_aram.;
%put >>> &p_aram2.;
%mend;
%let x="x,y";
%let x = %qsysfunc(compress(&x,%str(%")));
%put &x.;
%mmm(%str(&x.));
I want p_aram = x p_aram2 = y
Thanks!
Use Sysfunc instead of Qsysfunc
%macro mmm(p_aram,p_aram2);
%put >>> &p_aram.;
%put >>> &p_aram2.;
%mend;
%let x="x,y";
%let x = %sysfunc(compress(&x,%str(%")));
%put &x.;
%mmm(%str(&x.));

Anytime 🙂
Sounds like the issue is you are macro quoting the value, so the comma is "protected".
%let x="x,y";
%mmm(%sysfunc(dequote(&x)));
Is there some reason why you thought you needed to add macro quoting?
In that case use %QSCAN() to pick off the first and second values.
%let x="x,y";
%let x=%qsysfunc(dequote(&x));
%mmm(%qscan(&x,1,%str(,)) , %qscan(&x,2,%str(,));
