Hi All,
I am try to declare a macro variable and print the macro variable in log window using the put statement, but output is not fetching. Can you help me.
Attaching the output image for reference.
Code:
%let pass=%str(rAk%B25%);
%put &pass;
Thanks.
Result:
Do you actually have the %B25 macro that you are trying to call? What does it do?
Perhaps you meant to use %NRSTR()? if so double the % characters to mask them.
1 %let pass=%nrstr(rAk%%B25%%); 2 %put &pass; rAk%B25%
Your code it probably still looking for the closing ), right parenthesis, since you masked the one in the first line by prefixing it with a % character.
1 %let pass=%str(rAk%B25%); 2 %put &pass; 3 ); WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro B25 not resolved. ERROR: Open code statement recursion detected.
Add the closing ) to your %LET.
1 %let pass=%str(rAk%B25%)); WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro B25 not resolved. 2 %put &pass; WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro B25 not resolved. rAk%B25)
Thank you Tom.
The macro tokens like % complicate things a bit. %superq should help.
data _null_;
call symput('pass','rAk%B25%');
run;
%put %%SUPERQ(pass);
