They all happen in title bars of subwindows. This might even be an issue with the MS Windows API. I suggest you open a track with SAS Technical Support. ... View more

Remove the semicolons and your code will work.   You normally only use macros for dynamic code generation.  For your case you'd rather use macro variables as in below sample code. %let cols1=name age; %let cols2=height weight; proc print data = a; var &cols2 &cols1; run;  A macro definition for your sample could look like: %macro doit(cols1,cols2); proc print data = a; var &cols2 &cols1; run; %mend; %doit(name age, height weight); And as an advice: Don't dive too early into SAS macro coding. First get "solid" with SAS data step and SAS Proc's.  ... View more
