How to fill out symput and symget

How to fill out symput and symget:

1. First, you need to understand that both symput and symget are SAS programming functions used to handle macro variables.
2. To fill out symput, you first need to assign a value to a macro variable. You can do this by using the symput function followed by the name of the macro variable and the desired value. For example, you can write:

data _null_;

x = 10;

call symput('macrovar', trim(left(put(x, best.))));

run;

This code assigns the value '10' to the macro variable 'macrovar'.

On the other hand, symget is used to retrieve the value of a macro variable. To use symget, you need to provide the name of the macro variable as an argument. For example:

data _null_;

val = symget('macrovar');

put val;

run;

In this code, symget retrieves the value from the macro variable 'macrovar' and assigns it to the variable 'val'. Then, the value is printed using the PUT statement.

Who needs symput and symget:

1. SAS programmers who work with macro variables frequently can benefit from using symput and symget.
2. Anyone who needs to assign dynamic values to macro variables or retrieve values from macro variables programmatically can find these functions useful.
3. These functions are especially helpful in automating repetitive tasks or in scenarios where the values of macro variables need to be manipulated or passed between different parts of a SAS program.
