Hi there,

 

i want to use the export funtion while doing regression analyses as follows:

 

    ODS TAGSETS.EXCELXP
    file='H:\Bildung_&x._mitAbi.xls'
    STYLE=minimal
    OPTIONS ( Orientation = 'landscape'
    FitToPage = 'yes'
    Pages_FitWidth = '1'
    Pages_FitHeight = '100' );

 

It is part of an big analysis macro. Is there a way that i can tell SAS that the "&x." in "file='H:\Bildung_&x._mitAbi.xls'" is actualy a macro variable? Its going to be a realy big number of regression analyses and i realy dont want to name the files manualy.

 

Best regards,

Tom

Your program is nearly fine as is. 

 

Single quotes suppress all macro activity.  Use double quotes instead of single quotes around the file path.

something like that:

/*1st SOLUTION: using double quote*/
file="H:\Bildung_&x._mitAbi.xls"
    STYLE=minimal
    OPTIONS ( Orientation = 'landscape'
    FitToPage = 'yes'
    Pages_FitWidth = '1'
    Pages_FitHeight = '100' );

/*2nd SOLUTION: resolve the macrovars before*/
%LET X                          =file_xls_name;
%LET FILE_AND_PATH =H:\Bildung_&X._mitAbi.xls;
%PUT &X.;
%PUT &FILE_AND_PATH.;
file="&FILE_AND_PATH."
    STYLE=minimal
    OPTIONS ( Orientation = 'landscape'
    FitToPage = 'yes'
    Pages_FitWidth = '1'
    Pages_FitHeight = '100' );
