SAS Tutorial | Getting the Most out of SAS Macro and SQL

Watch as John presents two of his favorite macro and SQL tricks.
Trick 1: Instantly delete every user-defined macro variable in the global symbol table with the DELETEALL macro. This useful tip saves memory and keeps the global symbol table clean of user defined macro variables.
Trick 2: Learn to create a macro variable that contains a delimited list of the unique values of a selected SAS variable from a selected SAS dataset using the VALUELIST macro. The resulting macro variable can be referenced for purposes of report-writing or data-driven macro parameter validation.
