SAS Macro is also an Indirect way to write a Code which is quite similar to what we saw in the previous examples.

Let's understand with a very basic macro, we would delve into its details later.

%let name = Jack ;

We create a macro variable "name" and assign a value "Jack" to it.

Now when I use following statement :

I and &name. are playing chess.

1. Macro variable

2. Macro itself
