Hi there,
I want to take a subset from a data using macro variable but getting an error. I am interested to get table "WANT" using macro. Thank you in advance for your kind guidance.
data have;
length id $3 submission_date $8;
input id submission_date ;
datalines;
101 20110101
102 20110202
103 20110303
104 20120101
105 20120202
106 20120303
107 20130101
108 20130202
109 20130303
;
run;
data have1;
set have (rename =submission_date=submission_date1);
submission_date=input(put(submission_date1, $8.), yymmdd8.);
format submission_date date9.;
drop submission_date1;
run;
data want;
set have1;
if submission_date ge '01JAN2011'd and submission_date le '31DEC2011'd;
run;
%macro annual_subset(year);
data have2;
set have1;
if submission_date ge '01JAN&year.'d and submission_date le '31DEC&year.'d;
run;
%mend;
%annual_subset(2011)
use double quotes
if submission_date ge "01JAN&year"d and submission_date le "31DEC&year."d;
Macro variables will not resolve within single quotes.
