Joost and All,

I used the following command to save the macro to regular sas program.

****************************************;
options merror mprint symbolgen mfile;
FILENAME mprint   ‘S:\projects\temp\ibesnum_macro_coverted2.SAS’;

%IBESsummatch;
****************************************;

It works perfectly. However, it seems i lost the log.

after I run the macro, if i run:

data new;
set old;
run;

I have only the sas code shows on the log window, I don’t have the BLUE NOTEs anymore (there were X obs in read from the data old .... stuff)

I tried to turn off the mprint stuff by:

options nomerror nomprint nosymbolgen nomfile;

However, it seems not working for me….Any idea will be high appreciated!

of course, after restart SAS, my notes are back.

hi Zenghui,

I have trouble replicating the problem, but maybe (hopefully ) SAS will obey this command:

best regards,

Dear Joost,

This options work!!!!

Thank you so much.

I have this problem when i replicate some WRDS macros randomly, and It will takes forever to track all the details in these long macros. Your options save me.

I owe you a lunch for this post. (I know i already owe more than lunches to you)
