MSTORED | NOMSTORED

MSTORED

searches for stored compiled macros in a catalog in the SAS library referenced by the SASMSTORE= option.

NOMSTORED

does not search for compiled macros.


Details

Regardless of the setting of MSTORED, the macro facility first searches 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. Then, the macro facility searches the SASMACR catalog in the SASHELP library.
