Subject:      Conditional Macro
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I have a program that has a series of data steps and proc sqls.  I have
one section of it that I want to run if a condition is true.  I set a
macro variable called gastro at the begining of the code to be either Y
of N.  I cant seen to get the syntax right of running the section of
code conditionally.


example

%let Gastro='Y';

Proc Sql and Data steps

%if &Gastro=Y %then %do;

Data Steps

%end;

Rest of Proc Sql and Data Steps


 

Thanks,  Nick
