I would like to resolve a macro variable within a comment:
*xxx yyy &MACVAR zzz;
Is this possible?
No, but if you just want to see it in the log, you replace the comment with:
%put xxx yyy &MACVAR zzz;
Use %UNQUOTE().
%macro test(comment);
* First comment ;
%unquote(* &comment) ;
proc print data=sashelp.class; run;
%mend test;
options mprint;
%test(Hi there);
MPRINT(TEST): * First comment ;
MPRINT(TEST): * Hi there ;
MPRINT(TEST): proc print data=sashelp.class;
MPRINT(TEST): run;
