Keith,

You have two choices:

1st.:  create macros containing your if statements and store them either in
a user or public macro library.

2nd.:  Create text files contaiing your if statements save them in a PDS and
%include them in your program.

Subject: Reusing code from SAS Program in another SAS Program
Date: Fri, 20 May 2005 15:23:07 -0700
I write SAS programs on the Mainframe.  I have several programming
steps in multiple programs that use the same IF statements, for
example.

Maintenance is getting to be a problem because I may have to make the
same code change in 50 different programs.

I would like to write the If statement only once and read it into the
appropriate data steps of the various programs.

If someone could give me help on how I could do this, it would be
appreciated.
