Replacing Text Strings Using Macro Variables

[AlexeyS]

%let city = New Orleans;

title "Data for &city";

Why when i run these two statements, i still get "Data for &city" and not "Data for New Orleans" ?

thank you

You need to provide some information, I can tell nothing from that, and:

%let city = New Orleans;

title "Data for &city";

proc print data=sashelp.cars;
run;

Works fine for me.

That would happen if you actually used a slightly different set of statements:

%let city = New Orleans;

title 'Data for &city';

Single quotes need to be changed to double quotes, to permit macro variable values to resolve.

If that's not what happened, you'll need to post the log (including the step before these statements).  There are other, less likely, possibilities.

Proc print;
%let city = New Orleans;

title "Data for" &city;
Run;

Move %LET staement before thr PROC PRINT line and move the &city inside the double quotes.
