Authors Abstract
Josh Horstman, Richann Watson In their popular presentation "From Muggles to Macros", Horstman and Watson delivered a spell book full of macro magic to enhance SAS programs with data-driven wizardry. This exciting sequel to that enchanting performance adds to the list of incantations for creating dynamic, flexible, reusable programs that can automatically adapt to change. New charms include the use of control tables, the CALL EXECUTE routine, and of course, more macro language techniques. Don't hardcode data values into your programs. Cast a vanishing spell on data dependencies and let the macro facility write your SAS code for you!
