How do you add a number to a macro variable?..

Answer / saurabh gupta

To add a number in macro use %EVAL macro

Example

%Let a= 2;
%Let b= 3;
%Let c= &a + &b ;
then it will give you value

c=2 + 3

but If you will use %eval it will give you sum

%Let c= %eval(&a + &b)
Now this will give you the correct answer

c=5
