Answer / mallikarjuna reddy.vanna
besides all the above answers, we can also say that by using
%put we can get values of specified macro variables, where
as by using symbolgen we can get the values of all the macro
variables with in a program.
%put is a macro language program statement, like %put and
%macro. symbolgen is an option.

Answer / basha
both are used bebugging of macros
%put stmt write the text or macro variable information
like all macro global variables
where as
symbolgen display what macro variable resolves the value
ex;
%let v=sas;
symbolgen displays
macro variable v resolves to sas
this is especially useful when macro variables resolves
other than that u expected
%put stmt is also used with in the macro
symbolgen must be used options stmt
debugging macro with %put stmt
%put &d;
log:macrovariable d resolves to 'some-value '
