Syntax

MAUTOSOURCE | NOMAUTOSOURCE

MAUTOSOURCE: causes the macro processor to search the autocall libraries for a member with the requested name when a macro name is not found in the WORK library.
NOMAUTOSOURCE: prevents the macro processor from searching the autocall libraries when a macro name is not found in the WORK library.

Details

When the macro facility searches for macros, it searches first for macros compiled in the current SAS session. If the MSTORED option is in effect, the macro facility next searches the libraries containing compiled stored macros. If the MAUTOSOURCE option is in effect, the macro facility next searches the autocall libraries.
