pass iterator as value to macro function

Question

I would like to pass do iterator as value - see example below

%macro print_to_log(val=);
    %put &val;
%mend print_to_log;

data _null_;
    do i = -15 to 0;
        %print_to_log(val=i);
    end;
run;

It only prints the character i to the log.

Use CALL EXECUTE to call the macro or DOSUBL instead. There's an example in the documentation. — Reeza, Nov 20 '18 at 17:09

Will this work for you, if you use another macro instead of null ds as below?

%macro print_to_log(val);
    %put &val;
%mend print_to_log;

%macro loop;
    %do i = -15 %to 0;
        %print_to_log(&i);
    %end;
%mend loop;

%loop;
