Autocall Macros Configuration and Testing

This program first defines a simple local macro 'try'. It then displays the current macro-related options (MAUTOSOURCE, SASAUTOS). It modifies the SASAUTOS option to include a custom directory (defined by the &path variable) at the beginning of the search path. Finally, it checks the new options and tests the execution of the local macro and the standard autocall macro 'datatyp'.
