The error still remains, i just don't get what is wrong . I tried %file Mailbox. But that is not the solution either

 

proc sql;
select case when nmiss(name)=0 and nmiss(age)=0 and nmiss(sex)=0 then 1
	else 0 end into:testMacro
	from work.test;
quit;


%macro mail;
FILENAME Mailbox EMAIL "" 
type="text/html"
subject="Automatische controle";
%put "why isnt it working";

data _null_;
file Mailbox;
%if &testMacro = 0
%then %do;
	%put "values in mailcond are > 0";
%end;
%run;
%mend mail;

data _null_;
if &testMacro = 1 then call execute('%mail');
run;

Remove '%' symbol before RUN. It has to be just 'run' not '%run'

 

Please find my comments below:

proc sql;
select case when nmiss(name)=0 and nmiss(age)=0 and nmiss(sex)=0 then 1
	else 0 end into:testMacro
	from work.test;
quit;


%macro mail;
FILENAME Mailbox EMAIL 
to="test@email.com" /* TO= is missing */
type="text/html"
subject="Automatische controle";
%put "why isnt it working";

data _null_;
file Mailbox;
/* You maynot need the 'if' condition anymore */
/*%if &testMacro = 0*/
/*%then %do;*/
/*	%put "values in mailcond are > 0";*/
/*%end;*/
run;
%mend mail;

data _null_;
if &testMacro = 0 then call execute('%mail');
run;
Thanks,

When you call execute a macro that contains macro logic, use %nrstr:

call execute('%nrstr(%mail'));

otherwise you will experience macro timing problems. Macro statements are executed immediately, but Base SAS code has to wait until the calling datastep ends. %nrstr prevents premature execution of macro logic.
