  11. Hi all,
  12.  
  13. Is is possible to write a user-defined function in SAS? Something that would
  14. operate like:
  15.  
  16. %let x = %amacro;
  17.  
  18. where amacro will return a value. Alternatively what about
  19.  
  20. %amacro(x)
  21.  
  22. where the value of x is altered within the macro and is available outside it.
  23.  
  24. Many thanks,
  25. --
