Title: SAS ® Macros and the SAS ® DATASETS Procedure - An automated approach to data set management and manipulation
Abstract: The combination of Macro functionality and the SAS ® DATASETS procedure provides a simple, straightforward approach to automating data set manipulation and management. For users who wish to perform common tasks across groups of data sets, the DATASETS procedure is the tool to programmatically identify which data set(s) to work with. When it is combined with the Macro facility, users can write compact, maintenance-friendly (or even maintenance-free) code to manipulate the data set(s) targeted by the DATASETS procedure in any number of ways. This paper assumes a basic knowledge of the DATA step and SAS ® Macro language.
