I need to rename some data step variables to the values of a set of macro variables. The macro variables have new, different values each time the macro is invoked because a different parameter is passed to the macro with each call. The macro is used to create a group of data sets, one for each of the parameters that are passed to the macro with an invocation of it. Each of these datasets has a common set of dataset variables -- that is, they are common across all of the datasets created because they are created from a single, large dataset. In each of the datasets, these dataset variables need to be given the names of the unique macro variable contents for that particular macro call. The dataset variables need to be renamed because the datasets are merged together at the end of the program. A simple rename type of statement like the following would be nice: rename dataset variable = contents of macro variable. However, I can't make this work. Is there a way to accomplish this task? I use version 9.4. Thanks.
