how to use MAUTOSOURCE

[HitmonTran]

Hi,

I have an error message where I cannot call a global macro.  I'm not sure what the issue is, I tried adding MAUTOSOURCE (which I'm not sure if I wrote it correctly) and it didn't work.  The one solution did work is if I write "include...directory..macro name" but that takes too much time to keep writing when there's a new macro to be used.

Any suggestion would greatly help, thank you

error message:

code:

%let wrk_folder=Working_Folder;
%let analydir=\\Biostatistics\Analysis\&wrk_folder;
%include "\\_dummy\programs\macros\U_setup.sas";*U_setup;
OPTIONS MAUTOSOURCE SASAUTOS=(SASAUTOS '\\_dummy\programs\macros');
%u_setup(&analydir);

************************************************************************
* Table 1 - Subject Disposition                                       *
************************************************************************;
data analset;
  set LIB_ADM.ADSL; 
run;

title4 j=c 'Table 1' ;
%s_dset (analset, ENSEAL,e);

this is where my global macros are stored:

The structure of your code looks correct and I tested in OnDemand and it worked for me. 

OPTIONS MAUTOSOURCE SASAUTOS=(SASAUTOS '/home/fkhurshed/Demo1/myMacros');

%print(dsn=sashelp.class);

Do you have anything in your %u_setup that may overwrite this?

And is that the full file path in your example? If not, I'd definitely include the full file path as a start.

Also in the S_DSET program, the first line MUST have the statement - %macro s_dset(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3);
