Syntax

VALUE = APPSRV_UNSAFE( valuecode )


Arguments

valuecode
is the name of an input name/value pair.

Details

The APPSRV_UNSAFE function returns the complete, original value of an input name/value pair. Normally unsafe characters (see the UNSAFE option) are stripped from input values before creating the input macro variables. This is done so that macro variables may be freely used in a application program without any unwanted SAS macro language processing. In some cases, such as processing free-format input text, you may want to retrieve the complete, original value using the APPSRV_UNSAFE function.
