Dear All,

I have several small(ish) SAS programs that convert
and format DBF files. Thanks to all who helped solve
formatting problems. I would like to create a master
SAS program that calls each one in sequence. Any
ideas?

Cheers,
Keith

Keith,

You can use a series of %include statements naming the programs in the order
you want to call them in.

%include "drive:\your_folder\program name.txt" ;

Or better when programs are in one directory

file code "drive:\your_folder\" ;
%inc code
( prog1
prog2
prog3
...
) ;

Then the next step is parameter driven macros in an autocall library.

%prog1(parm1=...)
%prog2(alpha=...)
.....
