Use a macro variable in dcreate function

[Decay2020]

I want to use a macro variable in place of directory name in dcreate function. Can you please let me know how to do it. 

i use the following command :

data _null_;

newdirectory =dcreate(‘&mv.’, ‘pathname’);

run;

 but instead of resolving that macro it creates new directory as &mv.

Put &mv. in double quotes 🙂

Oops, thank you.

Make it a habit to use double quotes in code; use single quotes only when you explicitly need them to mask macro triggers.
