Hello ,
Im trying to import a few data sets in SAS Studio with a macro but somehow it isn't reading the macro statement in the filename and gives me an error:
%macro import(industry);
FILENAME REFFILE '/folders/myfolders/Bachelorarbeit/Daten/&industry..xlsx';
PROC IMPORT DATAFILE=REFFILE DBMS=XLSX OUT=&industry. REPLACE;
GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;
%mend import;
%import (aerodef);
%import (automobiles);
/*etc.*/
run;
ERROR: Physical file does not exist, /folders/myfolders/Bachelorarbeit/Daten//&industry.xlsx.
How can edit this so that SAS recognizes it is a macro statement?
thanks!
change to double quotes like this
%macro import(industry);
FILENAME REFFILE "/folders/myfolders/Bachelorarbeit/Daten/&industry..xlsx";
PROC IMPORT DATAFILE=REFFILE DBMS=XLSX OUT=&industry. REPLACE;
GETNAMES=YES;
RUN;
%mend import;
%import (aerodef);
%import (automobiles);
/*etc.*/
run;
