SAS Proc summary/means as a R function
...the 'macro arguments' text
into one string
ie
%macro procmeans(text)/parmbuff;
%put &text;
%mend procmeans;
%procmeans(This is a sentence);
result
This is a sentence
Here is my R code
# This works
proc.means <- function(....) {
sapply(match.call()[-1],deparse)
}
proc.means(thisisasentence)
Result
....
"thisisasentence"
Note sapply allows for multiple arguments
and is not needed but is more robust.
# However this does not work
proc.means(this is a sentence)
unexpected symbol in "proc means(this is)
It appears that the second space causes the error...
