Hey Tom, I revised your solution to fit my needs as seen below. It seems to create the output, but I still get an error message. Any guidance would be appreciated. Note the "+(date)" line in the log on line 100. Confused as to why that is populating. %macro help(date);
data test;
set &date.;
%do i=1 %to 78;
call symputx('typ',vtype(var&i.));
%if N=&typ %then %do;
new_var&i.=put(var&i.,$100.);
%end;
%else %do;
new_var&i.=var&i.;
%end;
%end;
run;
%mend;
