Hello

What is the way to create code that run macro based on 2 arguments from data set?

The question is actually how to create this code austomatically?(In real word the data set includes many rows so I am looking for a way to run the macro from these values automatically)

%RRR(VAR=Wealth ,Format=F1MT )
%RRR(VAR=obligo ,Format=F2MT )
%RRR(VAR=LoansBal ,Format=F3Mt )

 

 

%macro RRR(VAR,Format);
proc sql;
create table a_dist_continuous as
select  Left("&VAR.") as Var_name  LENGTH=300,
       put(&VAR.,&Format.) as Cat LENGTH=100,
        count(*) as nr&mon.,
		calculated nr&mon./(select count(*) as total_nr from ttt) as tamhil&mon. format=percent8.2
from ttt
group by  calculated CAT
;
quit;
%mend RRR;

Data MAcro_need_to_run;
infile datalines dsd;
input field $ Fmt $;
cards;
Wealth,F1MT
obligo,F2MT
LoansBal,F3Mt
;
Run;



proc format;
value F1MT
.='(b1) NULL'
0='(b2) 0'
0<-1000='(b3) 0-1K'
1000<-5000='(b4) 1-5K'
5000<-High='(b5) 5K+'
Low-<0='(b6) Neg'
other='(b7) other'
;
Run;

proc format;
value F2MT
0-100='(b1) POS 0-100'
100<-High='(b2) POS 100+'
Low- -100='(b3) Neg_100+'
-100 - 0='(b4) Neg_0-100'
other='(b5) other'
;
Run;


proc  format;
value F3Mt
Low-0,.='(a1) 0/Null/Neg'
0<-High='(a2) Pos'
;
Run;


%RRR(VAR=Wealth  ,Format=F1MT )
%RRR(VAR=obligo  ,Format=F2MT )
%RRR(VAR=LoansBal  ,Format=F3Mt )

To prevent the macro from executing while call execute is trying to stack up the code to run later make sure to add %nrstr() macro quoting.

call execute(catt('%nrstr(%RRR)(Var=',field,',Format=',fmt,')'));
