When you run "call execute" it prints the SAS syntax generated to the log. Usually that's wonderful but if not, is there a way to suppress this information, similar to "options nomprint"?
You can do something like this:
options nosource; data _null_; set sashelp.class; if _n_=2 then call execute(cat('data want; set sashelp.class; where age=',strip(age),'; run;')); run; options source;
You can do something like this:
options nosource; data _null_; set sashelp.class; if _n_=2 then call execute(cat('data want; set sashelp.class; where age=',strip(age),'; run;')); run; options source;
Thanks for the very quick reply, it works brilliantly!
Use option in call execute. NOMPRINT
data _null_;
if _n_=1 then call execute("options nomprint;proc print data=sashelp.class;run;");
run;
