 %macro test;


%local count;


data xx;

mon=6;

call symput('count',mon);
count=symget("count");

put "Unable to access " count=;

run;


%mend;

%test;


You cannot access the macro variable which you are
creating in the dataset within the dataset just by
using &macroname.
You have to use Symget to do the same.
