I am trying to use the macro facility. Below is what I'm getting back. What is going wrong?
INPUT PROGRAM.
DEFINE TYPEFIL()
"SAHH"
!ENDDEFINE.
DEFINE YRCODE()
"96"
!ENDDEFINE.
DEFINE NAMPATH()
!CONCAT("E:\ERLY_DCH\",TYPEFIL,"\ORIGINAL DATA\",TYPEFIL,"VB",YRCODE)
!ENDDEFINE.
DEFINE SAVPATH()
!CONCAT("E:\ERLY_DCH\",TYPEFIL,"\SPSS SYSTEM DATA\",TYPEFIL,"\VB",YRCODE,
".SAV")
!ENDDEFINE.
FILE HANDLE COMMON /NAME = NAMPATH
>Warning # 206 in column 30. Text: \
