The documentation I have is a Beta release of the documentation of the
Changes and Updates to the SAS MACRO FACILITY versions 6.07 and 6.12.
 
Some thoughtful little bird sent it to a co-worker to describe the use of
data step functions by the MACRO Facility OUTSIDE of the DATA step using
the %SYSFUNC
MACRO Function. This documented the use of the functions and the regular
expression functions RXPARSE, RXCHANGE, RXFIND.... only place I've ever
seen it.
