Hi,

write the macro name in this statement and the macro would be deleted.

For example : To delete the RESETP macro, Write :

%SYSMACDELETE RESETP;

Just for information purposes, the %sysmacdelete is a 9.3 function so if you are using earlier versions it will not be present. Plus it only works on the work directory. If the mstored option was used with sasmstore to store the macro permanently then I dont think this method will work.
