249-2012: A Tutorial on the SAS® Macro Language
SAS Global Forum 2012 Programming: Foundations and Fundamentals Paper 249-2012.. A Tutorial on the SAS Macro Language John J. Cohen, Advanced Data Concepts LLC, Newark, DE. ABSTRACT. The SAS Macro Language is another Language layering on top of regular SAS code. Used properly, it can make programming easier and more fun. While not every program is improved by using macros adding an- other syntax to learn and additional debugging challenges we gain using macros as code generators, saving repetitive and tedious effort, for passing parameters to avoid hard coding, and to pass code fragments, there- by making certain tasks easier than using regular SAS alone. Macros facilitate conditional execution and can be used as program modules standardized and re-useable throughout your organization. We will examine macros and Macro variables, statements, and functions. We will introduce interaction be- tween macros and regular SAS Language , offer tips on debugging, and the SAS Macro options.
