The presumption here is that you need the variable data in your SAS environment. So, you need to determine how/where SAS is being invoked and introduce a SAS run-time CONFIG parameter override, either using SYSPARM= or you can use the IS= (short for INITSTMT= ) where you can supply directly your %LET statement. If you choose SYSPARM, then you can access the string using the SAS automatic variable &SYSPARM, or by using the SAS function SYSPARM() to assign a DATA step variable, as needed, in your application program.
