&syspbuff couldn't resolve to the value assigned

[chouchou]

%macro pbuffparms / parmbuff;

  ods graphics on / reset=all;

  %*----Process this section when parameter values specified;

  %if &syspbuff ne %then %do;

    %let i=1;

    %let month=%scan(&syspbuff,&i);

    %do %while(&month ne);

      proc sgplot data=books.ytdsales

                    (where=(month(datesold)=&month));

        title “Section Sales Report for Month &month”;

        hbar section / response=saleprice stat=sum

                       datalabel;

        yaxis label=' ';

      run;

      %let i=%eval(&i+1);

      %let month=%scan(&syspbuff,&i);

   %end;

  %*----Process this section when no parameter values

      title “Annual Section Sales by Quarter”;

      hbar section / response=saleprice stat=sum

                     group=datesold;

      yaxis label=' ';

      label datesold='Quarter';

      format datesold qtr.;

    run;

  %end;

%mend pbuffparms;

*----Analyze sales for August and November;

%pbuffparms(8,11)  It only comes out one graph titled "Section Sales Report for Month &month", obviously &syspbuff wasn't resolved. Could anyone help me out with this problem? Thank you so much.

Your logic appears to work .. at least the following worked for me:

data test;

  set sashelp.class;

  datesold=mdy(age-10,1,2014);

run;

%macro pbuffparms / parmbuff;

  %*----Process this section when parameter values specified;

  %if &syspbuff ne %then %do;

    %let i=1;

    %let month=%scan(&syspbuff,&i);

    %do %while(&month ne);

      proc print data=test

                    (where=(month(datesold)=&month));

        title “Section Sales Report for Month &month”;

      run;

      %let i=%eval(&i+1);

      %let month=%scan(&syspbuff,&i);

   %end;

  %end;

%mend;

%pbuffparms(4,6)
