Note on the download and application of macro PreNames vs. 0.0.0e ====================================================== In order to use the macro PreNames.sas (in PreNames.zip) you also have to download the auxiliary macros - ChkVar.sas (in ChkVar.zip) - FirstCh.sas (in FirstCh.zip) - ChkList.sas (in ChkList.zip) - CrossChk.sas (in CrossChk.zip) and make them available in your macro search path just like your other SAS macros or explicitly %include them in your SAS macro code. They are being automatically called from PreNames.sas . PreNames.sas (C) Jim Groeneveld.
