Hi experts,
I have the following macro and I want the macro to assign correct values.
%Macro Month_Pre_Selection (close, period1);
%if &Close. = 1 %then %do;
%let input_contracts = CONTRACT_&period1.;
%let input_customers = CUSTOMER_&period1.;
%let input_object = OBJECT_&period1.;
%let input_payplan = PAYMENTPLAN_&period1.;
%end;
%if &Close. = 2 %then %do;
%let input_contracts = CONTRACT_&period1._PRE;
%let input_customers = CUSTOMER_&period1._PRE;
%let input_object = OBJECT_&period1._PRE;
%let input_payplan = PAYMENTPLAN_&period1._PRE;
%end;
%mend;
when I run it with following code
%Month_Pre_Selection (1, 201805);
%put &input_contracts;
I get the following message in the log
WARNING: Apparent symbolic reference INPUT_CONTRACTS not resolved.
&input_contracts
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance.
%Macro Month_Pre_Selection (close, period1);
%global input_contracts ;
...........
%Macro Month_Pre_Selection (close, period1);
%global input_contracts ;
...........
Or move the %PUT statement inside the macro.
