Actually, the upshot is exactly not that. Symbols in SYSIN are always resolved when requested by SYMBOLS=. The program that reads that SYSIN never sees any symbols.
The 2nd parm of SYMBOLS is a DDname for a substitution report. I would have assumed you'd get that regardless, but evidently, the SYSIN file has to be OPENed to get the substitution report. sas On Wed, Jun 20, 2018 at 5:35 PM, Jesse 1 Robinson <jesse1.robin...@sce.com> wrote: > I think the upshot here is that support for symbols in *data* is a > function of the program being executed.
