Paper 17-27 Building and Using Macro LibrariesArthur L. Carpenter, California Occidental ConsultantsABSTRACTW hile many users take advantage of the SAS Macro Language, few take full advantage of itscapabilities to build and maintain Libraries ofmacros. Management of large numbers ofmacros can be problematic. Names andlocations must be remembered, changes must bemanaged, duplication and variations of individualmacros must be monitored, and efficiency issuesmust be taken into consideration. Theseproblems come even more to the forefront whenmacros are shared among programmers -especially in a networked Libraries allow you to control and managethe proliferation of your macros. Libraries canconsist of a formal use of the %INCLUDE statement, a group of programs defining macrosthat can be automatically called, or evencollections of macros that were previouslycompiled and then Libraries are extremely useful, and notreally all that complicated.
