Subject:      Macro Variable Problem
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Hi All,
 I can't get the &VAR to resolve to it's value. It resolves to cvar1 (the
name of the variable being passed). Any suggestions?

Mike




%let out1='aaaaaaa';
%let out2='bbbbbbb';


%macro mismr(out1='', out2='');

  %local CVAR1 AZ_CVAR2;
  call symput('CVAR1',trim(&out1));
  call symput('CVAR2',trim(&out2));

  rc1 = %mcomr(cvar1);
  rc2 = %mcomr(cvar2);
%mend mismr;

%macro mcomr(var);

  %let mis_len = %length(&misn);

  %do i = 1 %to &mis_len %by 3;
    %if %nrstr(&var) eq %nrbquote(%substr(xxxxxx, &i, 2)) %then %let mis_flg
= 1;   /* THIS IS WHERE I'M HAVING A PROBLEM*/
  %end;
%mend mcomr;
