I am attempting to perform a proc export on 4 datasets Sas is generating an syntax error based on the outfile. I am not sure what is wrong wit the syntax here.
Macro Export (Dataset,Sheetname);
proc export data=&Dataset.
outfile=&Outfile.
dbms=EXCELCS replace;
sheet=&Sheetname.;
server='XX22544';
run;
%Mend;
%Export (Summary_Yr_Total,"Yr_Total");
%Export (Summary_Yr_Risk_Port,"Yr_Risk_Port");
%Export (Summary_Inv_DQ,"Inv_DQ");
%Export (Actives_Curr_Yr_Pl_5_Yrs,"Loan List");
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable DATASET resolves to Summary_Yr_Total
NOTE 137-205: Line generated by the invoked macro "EXPORT".
3741 proc export data=&Dataset. outfile=&Outfile. dbms=EXCELCS replace; sheet=&Sheetname.; server='GA016A744'; run;
