retaining macro value

[milts]

hello,

i have a macro variable n which has a value of 123414 / 6546434.

then i execute a data step:

data test;
id = &n;
run;

it results to the quotient of 123414 and 6546434
i want to keep the value 123414 / 6546434 as is. I don't want it to be divided.

what can i do?

thanks!
