Dear SAS-L-ers,

Jesper, I have not been following this thread to closely, and--to be honest--I am a bit lazy this morning and not hep to reading through the entire thread as I wait for this morning's 8:30am SAS Resource Planning Group meeting to start.  So, let me throw a quick suggestion your way:

Can either the %SYSLPUT or the %SYSRPUT macro statements help you out here?  They are used to assign macro variables between SAS/CONNECT sessions on the client and the host.

Just a thought.  Oops!  Meeting starts in 2 minutes; gotta go!

Best of luck in all your SAS endeavors!


I hope that this suggestion proves helpful now, and in the future!
