The following log demonstrates that my approach to assigning drive and
file
locations
is not working.  Note that the

LIBNAME SAVE1 line demonstrates that the location I am attempting to
point
to is there.

Any help with how to correctly create and implement these macro
variables?

Note:  I have tried these statements with both single (') and double (")
quotes


5794  %LET DRV ='W:';
5795  %LET PRJ1='\TECHNICAL GROUP\NORMS\Y2003\IOWA\COMPLETE\T3 CREATE
PVAL';
5796  %LET PRJ2='\TECHNICAL GROUP\NORMS\Y2003\IOWA\COMPLETE\T4 PVAL
STRING';
5797  %LET PRJ3='\TECHNICAL GROUP\NORMS\Y2003';
5798
5799  RUN;

WARNING: RUN statement ignored due to previous errors. Submit QUIT; to

5800
5801  LIBNAME SAVE1    'W:\TECHNICAL GROUP\NORMS\Y2003\IOWA\COMPLETE\T4
PVAL STRING\DAT';

NOTE: Libref SAVE1 was successfully assigned as follows:
       Engine:        V9
       Physical Name: W:\TECHNICAL GROUP\NORMS\Y2003\IOWA\COMPLETE\T4

5803  LIBNAME SAVE     '&DRV. &PRJ2. \DAT';
NOTE: Library SAVE does not exist.
