+## >>> `%LDSNM()` macro: <<< <a name="ldsnm-macro"></a> #######################  
+
+The LDSNM (Long DataSet Names Modified) macro function 
+allows to use an "arbitrary" text string to name a dataset.
+
+The LDSN macro had some limitation (see its documentation), to overcome them 
+another `%LDSNM()` (Long DataSet Names Modified) macro was created.
+
+The main idea behind the `%LDSNM()` is the same as for `%LDSN()` - see the description there.
+
+---
+
+The `%LDSNM()` works differently then the `%LDSN()`.
+
+The `%LDSN()` assumed that *both* libname and dataset options *could*
+be passed as elements in macro argument, e.g.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data %LDSN( WORK.peanut butter & jelly with a hot-dog in [a box] and s*t*a*r*s (drop = sex) );
+  set sashelp.class;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The `%LDSNM()`, in contrary, assumes that both libname and dataset options are
+passed **outside** the macro, i.e.
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data WORK.%LDSNM( peanut butter & jelly with a hot-dog in [a box] and s*t*a*r*s ) (drop = sex);
+  set sashelp.class;
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+This approach reduces some limitations the LDSN has.
+
+The **additional** feature of the `%LDSNM()` is that when the macro is called 
+a global macrovariable, which name is the same as hashed dataset name, is created.
+The macrovariable value is the text of the argument of the macro. For example 
+the following macro call:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data %LDSNM(John "x" 'y' dog);
+  set sashelp.class;
+  where name = 'John';
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+creates `DSN_BF1F8C4D6495B34A_` macrovariable with value:  `JOHN "X" 'Y' DOG`.
+
+The macrovariable is useful when combined with `symget()` function and 
+the `indsname=` option to get the original text string value back, 
+like in this example:
+
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+data test;
+  set %LDSNM(John "x" 'y' dog) indsname = i;
+  
+  indsname = symget(scan(i,-1,"."));
+run;
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+See examples below for the details.
+
+---
+
+The `%LDSN()` macro executes like a pure macro code.
+
+**Known "Limitations":**
+
+- dataset name _cannot_ contain _unpaired_ round brackets(`(` and `)`) 
+  (but unmatched `[]` and `{}` are allowed)!
+
+- dataset name _cannot_ contain _unpaired_ quotes (`'` and `"`), 
+  text: `a "hot-dog"` is ok, but `John's dog` is not!
+
+**Behaviour:**
+
+- dataset name text is *converted to upcase*
+
+- dataset name text *leading and trailing spaces are ignored*, 
+  e.g. the following will give the same hash digest:
+  `%ldsn(test)`, `%ldsn( test)`, `%ldsn(test )`.
+
+- macro calls of the form:
+  `data %LDSN(); run;` or `data %LDSN(    ); run;` are resolved 
+  to empty string, so the result is equivalent to `data; run;`
+
+- created macrovariable is _global_ in scope.

+
+The basic syntax is the following, the `<...>` means optional parameters:
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~sas
+%LDSNM(
+   arbitrary text string (in line with limitations)
+)
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The text string is concider as *"only dataset name"*, i.e. macro does not 
+assume it contain library as prefix or data set options as sufix.
+See the `%LDSN()` macro for comparison.
