CALL SYMPUT() within a data _null_ step. The documentation has examples.

Just google for "call symput". You'll get a tankerload of hits.

Narrowing it down with "sas 9.4 call symput" is even more on target.

You need to refine your google-fu.

I normally restrict my search to support.sas.com

 

The following Google term should give you quite a good result:

site:support.sas.com 9.4 call symput
