Authors	Abstract
Josh Horstman, Richann Jean Watson	The SAS macro facility is an amazing tool for creating dynamic, flexible, reusable programs that automatically adapt to change. This presentation uses examples to demonstrate how to transform static "muggle" code full of hardcodes and data dependencies by adding macro language magic to create data-driven programming logic. Cast a vanishing spell on data dependencies and let the macro facility write your SAS code for you!
