Hello, All
I have following codes:
options symbolgen;
%let directory_start =%str(%'C:\SAS\);
%let directory_end = %str(.sas\%');
%let fileName = MySasFile;
%put &directory_start;
%put &directory_end;
%put &fileName;
%include %str(&directory_start.&fileName.&directory_end.);
The intend is to generate the following statement:
%include 'C:\SAS\MySasFile.sas\'
It seems that the macro variables are resolved ok; however, I got an error message saying that " ERROR: Incorrect %INCLUDE statement will not be executed. There is a syntax error."
What mistake have I made? Thank you for help.
%include 'C:\SAS\MySasFile.sas\'
Has an extra \ at the end of directory end.
What's with all the %str()? It seems easier if you avoid them in my opinion.
%let directory_start =C:\SAS\;
%let directory_end= .sas;
%letfileName=mysasfile;
%include "&directory_start.&fileName.&directory_end.";
%include 'C:\SAS\MySasFile.sas\'
Has an extra \ at the end of directory end.

%let directory_start =C:\SAS\;

Thank you very much.
I thought I had to write the statement as: %include 'C:\SAS\MySasFile.sas\' ; I don't know I can use double quote " instead of single quote '
