Hi,
Try this:
%put %qSCAN(%nrbquote(&list), &counter, %str(%"));

I assume that the macro var &counter resolvs in odd integers like 1, 3, 5
etc.. Hope it helps..

Regards
Arun

Dear all,

I try to split a list of footnotes into single footnotes using %SCAN.

%let list = "footnote1: content" "Some other footnote" "my 3rd footnote";

Now something like

%SCAN(&list, &counter, %str("));

or

%SCAN(&list, &counter, %str(%" ));

should do it to read each single footnote.

Any hints?

Thank you
