MACRO

- MACRO
- enables SAS to recognize and process macro language statements,
macro calls, and macro variable references.
- NOMACRO
- prevents SAS from recognizing and processing macro language
statements, macro calls, and macro variable references. The item generally
is not recognized, and an error message is issued. If the macro facility is
not used in a job, a small performance gain can be made by setting NOMACRO
because there is no overhead of checking for macros or macro variables.
