+
+*"I have serious reason to believe that the planet from which 
+the little package came is the asteroid known as B612.
+This asteroid has only once been seen through the telescope. 
+That was by a Turkish astronomer, in 1909."*

+/****************************************************************************
+  ### Parameters:
+
+  `mcParam` - name of a macro parameter holding user provided data set name
+
+  ### Behavior:
+  
+  Description:
+    The 4GL code SYMGETs macro variable value, SCANs only first 
+    part of the string in case there are parenthesis "()" in it. 
+    Then it COMPRESSes the string and keep _only_ digits, letters, 
+    underscore, and period. All periods are TRANSLATEd to spaces. 
+    If created string is not empty its last chunk is SCANned for 
+    data set name, the second to last chunk is SCANned for libname 
+    (if empty then "work" is used). First character of LIB and DS 
+    variables is checked, if it is a digit, then underscore is added. 
+    At the end the LIB and DS are concatenated and casted to upper 
+    case letters. 
+  
+  Examples:
+
+    abc.xyz -> ABC.XYZ
+    ABC.XYZ(obs=42) -> ABC.XYZ
+    XYZ -> WORK.XYZ
+    abc. -> WORK.ABC
+    .XYZ -> WORK.XYZ
+    123.456 -> _123._456
+    A#B.x$y -> AB.XY

+des='SAS Packages Framework internal macro. Executable only inside selected SPF macros. Macro generates 4GL code that forces V7 compatybility for user provided data set names. Version 20260515.';
+/* The macro can be called only inside a data step. */
+/****************************************************************************
+  ### Parameters:
+
+  `mcParam` - name of a macro parameter holding user provided data set name
+
+  ### Behavior:
+  
+  Description:
+    The 4GL code SYMGETs macro variable value, SCANs only first 
+    part of the string in case there are parenthesis "()" in it. 
+    Then it COMPRESSes the string and keep _only_ digits, letters, 
+    underscore, and period. All periods are TRANSLATEd to spaces. 
+    If created string is not empty its last chunk is SCANned for 
+    data set name, the second to last chunk is SCANned for libname 
+    (if empty then "work" is used). First character of LIB and DS 
+    variables is checked, if it is a digit, then underscore is added. 
+    At the end the LIB and DS are concatenated and casted to upper 
+    case letters. 
+  
+  Examples:
+
+    abc.xyz -> ABC.XYZ
+    ABC.XYZ(obs=42) -> ABC.XYZ
+    XYZ -> WORK.XYZ
+    abc. -> WORK.ABC
+    .XYZ -> WORK.XYZ
+    123.456 -> _123._456
+    A#B.x$y -> AB.XY
+
+  Usecase:
+    Inside a macro for value check
