Hi Ashwini,

you cannot use the variable in same data step

[LinusH]

Actually you can, using the symget function. But it's an odd operation...

Would you post a code sample showing how?

[Florent]

Here you go:

data test;

      *set AAA;

   var = 1;

      call symput('var', var);

   var2 = symget('var');

run;
