*(Q)  I have a table that looks like

 id, var1
 1, AAA
 2, BBB
 3, AAA
 4, BBB
 5, CCC
 6, AAA
 7, FFF
 etc...
 and I would like to run a code for all the instances of var1, using
 the values of var1 to call a Macro, such as
 
 !Macro1 var="AAA"
 !Macro1 var="BBB"
 etc...

DATA LIST LIST /id (F3) var1(A3).
BEGIN DATA

AGGREGATE OUTFILE=*
	/BREAK=var1
	/notused=N.

WRITE OUTFILE='c:\\temp\\call macro.sps'
