The macro is
%macro treatname (var=)  ;
..
   ....some operations...
...
  data mylib.std_names ;
  set mylib.std_names ;
..
..
   std_&n= compress(new2_&n) ; /* new2_&n i s also created in between
*/
....
%mend treatname ;

%treatname(First_name  surname ) ;

Now whats happening is that in the std_names only std_surname is coming
 If i change order then first_name comes out
Please help friends
