Storing Macro Definitions in Catalog SOURCE Entries
Overview
Another way of permanently storing macros is to store
a macro definition in a SOURCE entry in a SAS catalog. If you decide
to store your macro programs in a SAS catalog, you must store each
macro program in a separate SOURCE entry. It is a good idea to give
each SOURCE entry the same name as the macro program that is stored
within it. For example, a macro named
Printit would
be stored in a SOURCE entry that is also named Printit.
Note: SAS catalogs are members
of SAS libraries that store program source code and other types of
content.
To store a macro definition
as a SOURCE entry in a SAS catalog, you use the Save As Object window.
