Subject:      Looping macro linked to spreadsheet
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII"

I currently have a sas program where you enter a group number, start
date, and end date as a macro variable.  The program runs through a
bunch of proc sql, data steps, and exports.  I babysit the program until
its done, then enter another group number, and dates and run it again.

I'm looking to make my life easier and was wondering if there was a way
I could enter a list of group numbers, start dates, and end dates into a
spreadsheet and have my sas program import this data and loop once
through my program for each row in the spreadsheet.  I tried doing some
searches for  this topic but couldnt find what I was looking for.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Nick
