macro_put

Display text from inside a macro from level DEBUG>=2.

%macro_put(macro, txt=, debug=);

Example

Let us declare a dummy macro as:

%macro dummy;
    %local _mac;
    %let _mac=&sysmacroname;
    %macro_put(&_mac, txt=A dummy text, debug=1);
%mend;

then running the command:

%dummy;

will display:

---

In macro DUMMY - A dummy text

Run %_example_macro_put for more examples.

Notes

1. As stated, the macro %macro_put shall be used inside another macro only.
2. Since this macro uses the macros %error_handle and %macro_isblank, these macros should not use any instance of %macro_put so as to avoid recursion (like _"un espece de grand trou noir"_).
