Macro staying unresolved, neither any error nor any output.

Hi everyone,

I have been trying to execute this macro. 
The value of regions: DL+UTT EAST GJ HR MH+ROM MP+CG PB+HP RJ SOUTH.

I have defined the region if there is a gap in the value, then it will be considered as different region. So as for my input, there are 9 regions now. Which can change over time so I have kept the Regions and NUM_REGIONS as dynamic.

/* OPTIONS MPRINT MLOGIC SYMBOLGEN; */

%MACRO EXECUTE1;

%LET COUNT1=0;

PROC SQL;
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO :COUNT1
FROM CC_BASE_01NOV24;
QUIT;

%IF &COUNT1 > 0 %THEN %DO;
 

PROC SQL;
SELECT DISTINCT UPCASE(REGION) INTO :REGIONS SEPARATED BY ' '
FROM CC_BASE_01NOV24
WHERE REGION NE '#N/A';
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT REGION) INTO :NUM_REGIONS
FROM CC_BASE_01NOV24
WHERE REGION NE '#N/A';
QUIT;

%PUT Unique Regions: &REGIONS;
%PUT Number of Regions: &NUM_REGIONS;




%MACRO STATEMIS1(REGION);
DATA CC_BASE_&BASE_DATE._&I.;
SET CC_BASE_01NOV24(WHERE=(UPCASE(STRIP(REGION))="&REGION."));
RUN;

%MEND STATEMIS1;


%DO I = 1 %TO &NUM_REGIONS;
%LET REGION = %SCAN(&REGIONS, &I, %STR( ));
%STATEMIS1(&REGION);
%END;
%END;
%ELSE %DO;
%PUT No records found in base dataset. Exiting macro.;
%END;
%MEND EXECUTE1;

As I am trying to execute the code, it runs without any error or any output data and log doesn't show anything either.
I am attaching the log further:-



85   %MACRO EXECUTE1;
86   
87   %PUT EXECUTE1 Macro Started!;
88   %LET COUNT1=0;
89

91   SELECT COUNT(*) INTO :COUNT1
92   FROM CC_BASE_01NOV24;
93   QUIT;
94   
95   %IF &COUNT1 > 0 %THEN %DO;
96   
97   
98   PROC SQL;
99   SELECT DISTINCT UPCASE(REGION) INTO :REGIONS SEPARATED BY ' '

104  /* WHERE REGION NE '#N/A'; */
105  QUIT;
106  
107  %PUT Unique Regions: &REGIONS;
108  %PUT Number of Regions: &NUM_REGIONS;
109  
110  
111  
112  
113  %MACRO STATEMIS1(REGION);
114  %PUT &REGION.;
115  DATA CC_BASE_&BASE_DATE._&I.;
116  SET CC_BASE_01NOV24(WHERE=(UPCASE(STRIP(REGION))="&REGION."));
117  RUN;
118  
119  %MEND STATEMIS1;
120  
121  
122  %DO I = 1 %TO &NUM_REGIONS;
123  %LET REGION = %SCAN(&REGIONS, &I, %STR( ));
124  %STATEMIS1(&REGION);
125  %END;
126  %END;
127  %ELSE %DO;
128  %PUT No records found in base dataset. Exiting macro.;
129  %END;
130  %MEND EXECUTE1;

I want this code to execute for all the unique regions in the set. But it isn't letting me.

Can I please get help as I have checked in individual steps that,

COUNT1 has 15Lakh values in it, so it is working right.

CC_BASE_01NOV24 has 9 unique regions so the loop should work 9 times for all the regions.

What is it that I am doing wrong and how can I correct it?

Thanks You.

You have not instructed SAS to execute the macro. You have only defined the macro.

You do this by this command

%EXECUTE1

As a side issue, defining a macro within another macro definition is not a good practice. Better to define the macros separately, consecutively. 

%macro execute1;
/* code for macro execute1 goes here */
%mend execute;

%macro statemis1(region);
/* code for macro statemis1 goes here */
%mend statemis1;
