If you are new to SAS, you should write SAS code to get your basic
datasteps and sorts, etc correct first.  Then wrap macro code around them,
or use a strong editor and just cut and paste your code, til you
understand the code you want the macro to write for you.  You can't write
good macros until you can write good repetitive SAS code.
