@brief Used to capture scope leakage of macro variables
@details A common 'difficult to detect' bug in macros is where a nested
macro over-writes variables in a higher level macro.
This assertion takes a snapshot of the macro variables before and after
a macro invocation. This makes it easy to detect whether any macro
variables were modified or changed.
Currently, the macro only checks for global scope variables. In the future
it may be extended to work at multiple levels of nesting.
If you would like this feature, feel free to contribute / raise an issue /
engage the SASjs team directly.
Example usage:
%mp_assertscope(SNAPSHOT)
%let oops=I did it again;
%mp_assertscope(COMPARE,
desc=Checking macro variables against previous snapshot
)
@param [in] action (SNAPSHOT) The action to take. Valid values:
@li SNAPSHOT - take a copy of the current macro variables
@li COMPARE - compare the current macro variables against previous values
@param [in] scope= (GLOBAL) The scope of the variables to be checked. This
corresponds to the values in the SCOPE column in `sashelp.vmacro`.
@param [in] desc= (Testing scope leakage) The user provided test description
@param [in,out] scopeds= (work.mp_assertscope) The dataset to contain the
scope snapshot
@param [out] outds= (work.test_results) The output dataset to contain the
results. If it does not exist, it will be created, with the following format:
|TEST_DESCRIPTION:$256|TEST_RESULT:$4|TEST_COMMENTS:$256|
|---|---|---|
|User Provided description|PASS|No out of scope variables created or modified|
