Subject: "MINI" MACRO QUESTION
Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2006 14:30:01 -0400

Suppose I subset a data set as follows:

%let time=1;
%let rater=cd1;

data work.new;set work.one;
   if time=&time;
   if rater=&rater;

/*
    now I want to output some of the variables and document what I have by
using these
    macro variables;
*/

data _null_;set work.new;
    put @5 'data set restricted to the case where time is' &time 'and rater
is' &rater;

My question:  How do I structure this put statement so that the values of
the macro variables
are shown?
