System Options Used in the Macro Facility lists the SAS options that apply to the macro facility.

System Options Used in the Macro Facility
Option Description

CMDMAC controls command-style macro invocation

IMPLMAC controls statement-style macro invocation

MACRO controls whether the SAS macro language is available

MAUTOSOURCE controls whether the macro autocall feature is available

MERROR controls whether the macro processor issues a warning message when a macro-like name (%name) does not match a compiled macro

MFILE determines whether MPRINT output is routed to an external file

MLOGIC controls whether macro execution is traced for debugging

MPRINT controls whether SAS statements generated by macro execution are traced for debugging

MRECALL controls whether the macro processor searches the autocall libraries for a member that was not found during an earlier search

MSTORED controls whether stored compiled macros are available

MSYMTABMAX specifies the maximum amount of memory available to the macro variable symbol tables(s)

MVARSIZE specifies the maximum size for in-memory macro variable values

SASAUTOS specifies one or more autocall libraries

SASMSTORE specifies the libref of a SAS library containing a catalolg of stored compiled SAS macros

SERROR controls whether the macro processor issues a warning message when a macro variable reference does not match a macro variable

SYMBOLGEN controls whether the results of resolving macro variable references are displayed for debugging

SYSPARM controls whether the macro processor searches the autocall libraries for a member that was not found during an earlier search
