Thanks Manuel.  I am aware of the %include.  I am calling a macro from
a sas program.  In macro I want a parameter to be a line of code in
the current sas program that is calling the macro.  Is there anyway to
get a line from one program to another program by just referencing a
line number or place in code?

Thanks
