- MAUTOSOURCE
-
causes the macro processor to search the autocall libraries
for a member with the requested name when a macro name is not found in the
WORK library.
- NOMAUTOSOURCE
-
prevents the macro processor from searching the autocall
libraries when a macro name is not found in the WORK library.
When the macro facility searches for macros, it searches
first for macros compiled in the current SAS session. If the MSTORED option
is in effect, the macro facility next searches the libraries containing compiled
stored macros. If the MAUTOSOURCE option is in effect, the macro facility
next searches the autocall libraries.
