The SAS macro function %SYSFUNC is very useful because it makes possible the use of SAS data step functions in the SAS macro environment. However, when the argument in the nested SAS data step function contains a macro variable or another macro such as %sysfunc(substr(&&AB&C,1)), it is...
The samples library (included by default) in the appstart.sas file, allows clients to access the ‘sample.webcsf1.sas’ program which contains user-controlled macro variables that are passed to the ‘DS2CSF’ macro. Sanitization occurs for the ampersand, double quotes, semicolon, percent, and...

The loop needs to go through both data sets, so a global macro value is created with the number of records for each DATA step. These macro variables will be used to stop each loop: data _null_; %let dsid = %sysfunc(open(demo_only_rename)); /* Opens the DEMO_ONLY_RENAME table *...
