SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 40558: Invoking nested autocall macros using des= option causes error
 |  |  |  |  |
Calling an autocall macro within another autocall macro invocation, where both macros use the DES= option, causes the following errors:
ERROR: The syntax for this %MACRO statement option is /DES
"description".
ERROR: A dummy macro will be compiled.
Here is a sample line of code that would cause this type of error (this
would only occur if the macros test1 and test2 are stored as Autocall macros):
%put "%test1(param=%test2(param=World))";
