Hi, im in a class in university where I am learning to use SAS. I am trying to read data from a zipped file using a macro, and then labelling the data. I am using SAS Studio on a mac. I thought I had resolved this error yesterday but it has come back to haunt me. Here's the code for my macro which runs without errors %LET PATH = /folders/myfolders/takehometwo;
%LET define_len = SEX RACERPI2 AGE_P ;
LIBNAME new "&PATH";
* Step 2;
* Define the MACRO, it will unzip the file then label the
variables depending on which year the dataset represents;
%MACRO createset (first = , last = );
%do year = &first %to &last;
Filename ZIPFILE SASZIPAM "&PATH/adults&year..zip";
data new.adults&year;
INFILE ZIPFILE(SAMADULT.dat) PAD LRECL=906;
LENGTH &define_len 3;
* Input for each column for emotions the datasets vary;

%mend createset; When I call the macro for just the years 2010 and 2011 it doesnt give me any errors at all, but the 2010 dataset is a little strange. When I call any other year I get this error 1 OPTIONS NONOTES NOSTIMER NOSOURCE NOSYNTAXCHECK;

Is this maybe because the .dat files in the zip are all called the same thing, so when it unzips the second one it gets called something like SAMADULT 2.zip? Thank you very much for your time
