defined parameter with plus

[Ronein]

Hello

Based on 4 user defined parameter I want that SAS will create a new parameter .

%let v1=1806;

%let v1=1805;

%let v1=1803;

%let v1=1712;

I want that SAS will create a parameter called vector that will have value  1806+1805+1803+1712

(plus delimiter between values)

If We write %put &vector. we need to  see in log  1806+1805+1803+1712

thanks

Since you always use the same macro variable name, the previous values will be lost, and only 1712 will be stored in v1.

Have you tried writing:

%let vector = 1806+1805+1803+1712;

Sorry

The input parameters are:

%let v1=1806;

%let v2=1805;

%let v3=1803;

%let v4=1712;

Following code is not working

%let v1=1806;
%let v2=1805;
%let v3=1803;
%let v4=1712;
%let vector =&v1.+&v2.+&v3.+&v4.;
%put &vector.;

%let v1=1806;
%let v2=1805;
%let v3=1803;
%let v4=1712;
%let vector=%sysfunc(catx(+,&v1.,&v2.,&v3.,&v4.));
%put &vector.;

"not working" is such an extremely descriptive error message ... you will have to post at least the log and tell us what you expected. I got the following:

23         %let v1=1806;
24         %let v2=1805;
25         %let v3=1803;
26         %let v4=1712;
27         %let vector = &v1.+&v2.+&v3.+&v4.;
28         %put &vector.;
1806+1805+1803+1712

Hello,

Please define "not working". I pasted your code in SAS and obtained the following output.

Isn't that the result you want ?

1    %let v1=1806;
2    %let v2=1805;
3    %let v3=1803;
4    %let v4=1712;
5    %let vector =&v1.+&v2.+&v3.+&v4.;
6    %put &vector.;
1806+1805+1803+1712

I am sorry,

I run it again and it is working well!

thanks
