Difficulty Level

Beginner

Published on : 29/05/2024

This code snippet defines a macro named %getautos. It initiates a DATA step intended to create an output table containing the paths defined in the SASAUTOS system option. The code uses the `getoption` function to read this system configuration. Note: The provided code is incomplete and stops in the middle of the DATA step.
