Hello,

 

I want to use cat (or compress) and %eval.

 

For the example, let say that I have a word called "WORD".

 

I want create a macro variable m_var which is something like this :

 

%let m_var = %sysfunc(cat(word,%eval(1+1))) ;

to have on output : word2

 

Someone have an idea ?

Why not this?

%let m_var = word%eval(1+1) ;
