Dear Listeners,

I stumbled over an irritating macro var resolution, using EG:

%let slashes = %str(//test/test2) ; %let test3 = &slashes./test4 ;

%put _all_ ; GLOBAL SLASHES test test2 GLOBAL TEST3 test test2 /test4

Slashes are not correctly reproduced (and brackets as well ?), when the string is enclosed in %str()...

...strange...

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Hans
