Hi,   I'm trying to add some shapes to my report and I found this webpage that explains how to use the annotate macros: https://usermanual.wiki/Pdf/CarpenterE28099s20Complete20Guide20to20the20SASC2AE20REPORT20Procedure2C20Art20Carpenter.512612776/view   However, when I run the code, I get the following messages and end up with no lines drawn.   WARNING: Apparent invocation of macro LINE not resolved. ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.   Here is the code from the webpage.  Do you see any potential problems?  I appreciate and help or insight.  Thanks! ods pdf style=printer file='/sasdata/TEST.pdf' startpage=never; title1; proc report data=sashelp.prdsale(where=(prodtype='OFFICE')) nowd; %annomac; * Build the annotate data set; data Annolines; length function color $8; retain xsys ysys '5'; * Syntax for the LINE macro; %*LINE (x1, y1, x2, y2, color, line_type, size); %line(.5,69.6,50.5,69.6,blue,1,30); %line(.5,80.5,50.5,80.5,red,1,30); %line(42.2,67,42.2,94,green,1,30); run; * Use the annotate data set; proc gslide anno=annolines; run; quit; ods _all_ close; ...

Hi,   I'm trying to create two datasets based on specified dates. The "pull_data" macro does the actually retrieval of data and I just wanted to incorporate it into a new macro where I specify the dataset name and the date constraint for each dataset.   %MACRO test(); %let j=1; %let vals = PRIOR CURRENT; %let dates = "24oct2017" "11aug2020"; %do %while(%scan(&vals,&j) ne ); %let i=%scan(&vals, &j); %let k=input(%scan(&dates, &j),date9.); %pull_data() %let j=%eval(&j+1); %end; %let j=1; %MEND; %test();   However, the code errors out and I get the following message. SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable K resolves to input("24oct2017",date9.) ERROR: CLI describe error: [IBM][CLI Driver][DB2/AIX64] SQL0104N An unexpected token ")" was found following "t("24oct2017",date9.". Expected tokens may include: "<identifier>". SQLSTATE=42601   The code runs fine if I comment out the lines associated with dates. Please advice on how to fix this problem.   Thank you! ... View more
