It seems that the &cnty resolves to &n.  On the other hand, &&cnty will
resolve to n - if that is what is needed here.

I work on a huge court data set, and have to produce 670 tables monthly(67
counties multiply 10 tables). I use "proc printto" to route procedure
outputs to our server. That's okay. But when I try to seperate those tables
into 67 files county by county in one folder, the resolution of macro
variable doesn't work. Here is what I did.

%macro county;
       %do n=1 %to 67;
%let cnty=&n;
proc printto print='k:\MasterData\SRS\county\SRSpage1&cnty..rtf';
run;
proc print data=county; run;
proc printto;run;
       %end;
%mend county;
%county();

"cnty" cannot be resolved in the above case. Is something wrong? Or macro
variables cannot be resolved in the path. I appreciate any direction.
