In my SAS program,
In one data step variable ABC is assigned to ‘Y’ .
My requirement is I need to use same variable ABC with same value assigned in above data step in my another Data step.
How can I use it in another Data step? |

Can you elaborate, please?
| Code: |
data first;
ABC = 'Y';
do DEF=1 to 10;
output;
end;
run;
/* above yields 10 observations with variables DEF (1-10) and ABC='Y' */
data second;
set first; /* reads everything from first. Variable ABC='Y' */
if mod(DEF,2) = 1 then GHI = ABC; /* if DEF is odd then GHI=ABC='Y'*/
else GHI = 'N'; /* if DEF is even then GHI='N' */
run;
/* yields 10 observations with variables DEF (1-10) ABC='Y' */
/* and GHI either 'Y' or 'N' depending on whether DEF is odd or even */

| You can also pass the value via a macro variable. |
