data testthis;x=1;output;stop;run;
%Put SysLast<&SysLast.>;

2    %Put SysLast<&SysLast.>;
SysLast<WORK.TESTTHIS                        >

you'll probably want to trim that
and possibly break it down into Lib and Data:

%Let Lib  =%scan(&SysLast.,1,.);
%Let Data =%scan(&SysLast.,2,.);

%Put Lib<&Lib.> Data<&Data.>;
