%include pathway didn't work?

[ybz12003]

Hi expers,

I would like to run ten programs in the same SAS folder with different names.  The following program 'test_combine_sample.SAS' is one of them.  I found out my %Include didn't work.

%let dirb=%str(\\C:\document\project\user\programs\sas\);

%include "&dirb.test_combine_sample.sas"; 

The log showed that

ERROR: Cannot open %INCLUDE file

\\C:\document\project\user\programs\sas.test_combine_sample.sas

I feel strange that I did add backslash '\' in the macro dirb.   However, it seems like SAS didn't read that.   Please let me know how to fix this problem.  Thank you.

One thing is when I add two lines together, the code works.

%include "\\C:\document\project\user\programs\sas\test_combine_sample.sas"; 

When seperating into two lines as shown above,  the '\' between 'SAS' and 'test_combine_sample.sas' is missing

Never mind, I know where went wrong.
