有人可以告诉我为什么这不解决:

/*put all transaction table names into a data set*/ 
/*(table names are of format transac_20130603_20130610 (date from and date to)*/
data transaction_tables;
    set SASHELP.VTABLE (keep=libname memname);
    where lowcase(substr(memname,1,8))='transac_'

run;
/*sort and add rownumbers*/
proc sql;
create table transaction_tables as
    select *, monotonic() as rownum
         from transaction_tables
             order by memname;
run;
/*find rownumber of first and last transaction tables with run dates before campaign start and after end date of campaign*/
data _NULL_;
set transaction_tables;
    if substr(memname,9,8)<=&pre_period_start. and substr(memname,18,8)>=&pre_period_start. then do;
        call symput("r1", rownum);
        stop; 
        end;
run;        
data _NULL_;
set transaction_tables;
    if substr(memname,9,8)<=&max_enddate. and substr(memname,18,8)>=&max_enddate. then do;
        call symput("r2", rownum);
        stop;
        end;
run;
%put &r1; %put &r2;
/*r1 = 11, r2 = 27 - both resolving OK*/

/*get all relevant transaction table names where rownumbers are between r1 and r2*/
/*r1=11 and r2=27 so my transaction table name macros should run from t_0 to t_16/*
%macro trans;
%let y = %eval(&r2 - &r1);
%do i=0 %to &y;
data _NULL_;
set transaction_tables;
    if rownum = &r2 - (&r2 - &r1 - &i)  then do;
        call symput("t_&i", cats(libname, '.', memname));
        stop; 
        end;
%end;
%mend trans;
%trans;

%put &t_0;
--WARNING: Macro variable "&t_0" was not resolved

我不完全确定为什么,但是从一些变量中弄乱我认为问题在于它试图将表名分配给t_&amp; i宏的最后一部分。我认为问题在于尝试在尝试调用另一个宏变量时命名一个宏变量(尝试通过在i = 0时调用&amp; i来创建宏t_0)。我想我已经搞砸了语法,因为我认为逻辑相当合理。

谢谢!

不判断你要做的事情是否有用:

这是一个范围问题。您在宏中创建的任何宏变量仅存在于该宏中。 如果您希望它存在于宏之外,您需要:

  • 在开放代码中创建宏变量(不在宏中),然后再执行宏。
  • 在宏中(在第一次提到它之前)将其明确设置为全局,您可以通过编写:

    %global t_0;

修改的 另请注意,要结束proc sql,您需要使用quit而不是run。

替代方法:

proc sql;                                                                                                                               
create table result as                                                                                                                  
    select cats(libname,'.',memname) as desired                                                                                                      
    from dictionary.tables                                                                                                                  
    where substr(libname,1,8)='TRANSAC_'     
    and (scan(libname,2,'_')<=&pre_period_start. and scan(libname,3,'_')>=&pre_period_start.) 
    and (scan(libname,2,'_')<=&max_enddate. and scan(libname,3,'_')>=&max_enddate.) ;

data _null_;
    set result;
    call symput(cats('R_',_n_),desired,'g');
run;

甚至可以使用SQL'insert'子句将其重写为一步。 SQL quit;语句是可选的,我个人从不使用它。
