Hello
I want to define macro with 12 arguments (12 months in structure YYMM).
Let's say that the macro is defined by:
%Macro RRR(YYMM1,YYMM2,YYMM3,YYMM4,YYMM5,YYMM6,YYMM7,YYMM8,YYMM9,YYMM10,YYMM11,YYMM12);
And I want to run the macro with following arguments:
%RRR(2502,2501,2412,2411,2410,2409,2408,2407,2406,2405,2404,2403)
%RRR(2501,2412,2411,2410,2409,2408,2407,2406,2405,2404,2403,2402)

My question---
What is the way to run macro and write it via code and not manfully type it?
I mean, what is the way to create these statements of %RRR(.........) via code and not type it manually??
You asked this months ago, and received good answers.

You have two nested loops, the outer going backwards from February 2025 to November 2022, and the inner that counts back 11 months from the starting month. Define those two loops (using SAS functions like INTNX), and then run the code for the resulting month.
