Gregg,

I do find it interesting to learn different approaches to tackle a problem. That's why I keep following the different threads. I learn a lot from those. What I'm still lacking in the SCL/Macro discusion is a comparison for the same problem solved in Macro or SCL with pro's and contra's. Until now I do only use some SCL functionality in Base SAS, like open(), attrn and the like functions. I'm open to any new view point.

I propose to go on with the discussion on clear and experienced facts. In that way we can learn from each other and grow in our profession.

Regards, Joep
