My code:
%MACRO lobcodecount(lobname);
PROC SORT DATA=REWORKO.REWORK&lobname._CODECOUNT;
BY LOB Category Code CODE_DESCRIPTION;
RUN;
PROC SORT DATA=Paid_Fina&lobnameTRANS;
BY LOB Category Code CODE_DESCRIPTION;
RUN;
DATA REWORKO.REWORK&lobname._CODECOUNT_FINAL;
MERGE REWORKO.REWORK&lobname._CODECOUNT WORK.PAID_FINA&lobnameTRANS;
BY LOB Category Code CODE_DESCRIPTION;
RUN;
%Mend lobcodecount;
%lobcodecount(0500);
WORK.Paid_Fina&lobnameTRANS; macro varible &lobnameTRANS would not be able applyied.
why ?
Had the errors on Merger step.
Error message:

Do you have a macro variable "LOBNAMETRANS"?
If not, check the code and see if you forgot to include a period after the LOBNAME portion.
Otherwise the macro processor can't tell if you're trying to use a macro variable named lobname or lobnametrans.
you mean &lobname.trans? &lobname i sMacro Varible.
Try it 🙂
I resolved myself.
Paid_Fina&lobname.TRANS ---- name too long , change to Paid&lobname.TRANS it works. Thank you all !
