1.What is difference between symget and & in sas?
2.what is difference between callsymput and %let?
Answer Posted / somnath
=> Symget is used to resolve macro variables in data step
and & is used to resolve macro variable in macro processing.
For example, if you have 10 macro variables name1-name10
which contains 10 names and you want to get a particular
name in a data step then you can use symget, not &.
data rank;
i=4;
run;
data name;
set rank;
name=symget('name' || left(put(i, 8.)));
run;
=> The same concept applies for call symput.
The main idea is that the routines symget and symput are
executed at sas run-time where & and %let executes at macro
run time, much before that sas executes it.
