hi All,
I have created macro variables
%let B1=123;
%let B2=231;
%let B3=8;
Trying to call these inside a do loop.
data one;
array var[3] first second third ;
do j = 1 to 3;
var[j]= &Bj.;
end;
run;
The above code does not work. Please suggest
Macro variables are normally resolved during datastep compilation, so in order to get at them dynamically in a datastep, you will have to use SYMGET:
data one;
array var[3] 8 first second third ;
do j = 1 to 3;
var[j]= input(symget(cats('B',j)),best32.);
end;
run;

It's finally time to hack! Remember to visit the SAS Hacker's Hub regularly for news and updates.
