I currently use sas in batch on mvs in a tso environment. Often i read
in the data needed in JCL. The file lengths are the same and fields are
the same. What i would like to do is set up in The SAS part of my
program to use a Macro variable instead of having to either copy and
paste from different programs or retype all my input variables. I have
no experience with macros, but believe this to be not too difficult.
How would i read in the DSN containing the variables in the below code?
Thank you
DATA TEST;
INFILE FILEONE; /* ACTUAL DATA FILE READ IN FROM JCL*/
INPUT
@1 V1 $2.
@5 V2 5.
@10 V3 10.; /* ACTUALLY QUITE A MORE VARIABLES THEN THESE */
RUN;
