Re: Create macro variable to refer to program name - for multiple

Kat ,

Hmmm well basically it shold be the same as you have only incliuded the code
form the %included file in your second program. Thus, you are only running
one program.

What does your %Include look like, is it the full path with the file name or
a fielname and you refernece the filename alias and file you want included?

Subject: Create macro variable to refer to program name - for multiple

Morning all...

I am trying to create a macro variable that will contain the path & name of
the program. I tend to use this macro in my output, so I know what program
to refer to, if need be.

I basically know how to do this --
%let fname=%sysget(sas_execfilepath)
-- however, I have a question about creating more than one macro variable to
refer to different programs.

I have one program (program #1) that I use to create (& manipulate) the
data, and a second program (program #2) that does the runs (cross tabs,
models, etc). I've got it set up right now so that program #2 calls program
#1 with an %include statement.

What I want is macro variables that refer to each program, separately.
In program #1, I have this statement:
%let fname=%sysget(SAS_EXECFILEPATH);

In program #2, I have this statement:
%let fname2=%sysget(SAS_EXECFILEPATH);

HOWEVER, when I look at the information stored in both of these variables,
they both have the path & program name for program #2.

I even tried this in program #1:
%let fname=&path\%sysget(SAS_EXECFILENAME);

But once I run program #2, the value of &fname refers to the name of program
#2.

How can I create 2 separate variables that refer to each program, while
calling/running program #1 from an %include statement in program #2?

Thanks.
