Can u help me ?

Your remote session does not have the the "FINSEL_J" macro variable. You submit your code after you have it declared above. The macro var is set to global on your local session, but your remote session doesn't have that macro var set at all. I do not use the unix-rsubmit command anymore (we have crossed over to windows) but could you move the rsubmit statement up to the top of your example. This should allow the macro vars to resolve properly.

Hope that this helps you.

There is a specific command to pass a macro variable to a remote SAS session, %SYSLPUT. I'm not sure what %SYSLPUT1 does. It hink all you need to do is change this:-

%let finsel_j=%sysevalf(&fifinsel+2);

to this:-

%syslput finsel_j=%sysevalf(&fifinsel+2);

If you need the value locally as well as remotely, then you can just have both declarations, but remember that they are independant of each other, changing one will not change the other.

Thx guys. I've try the second method with %syslput and it worked.
