Syntax
Required Arguments
- MACRO
-
enables SAS to recognize
and process macro language statements, macro calls, and macro variable
references.
- NOMACRO
-
prevents SAS from recognizing
and processing macro language statements, macro calls, and macro variable
references. The item generally is not recognized, and an error message
is issued. If the macro facility is not used in a job, a small performance
gain can be made by setting NOMACRO because there is no overhead of
checking for macros or macro variables.
