%let dsin = pre_finalized;
data _null_;
set &dsin. (obs=1);

I also tried

%let dsin = data.pre_finalized;

Is the above the correct way to call my code. It is not the full code. But I am unsure if I am calling the dataset correctly. I keep on getting error logs. Any suggestions?

What are you trying to do? This could work, I suppose, but it just depends on what you're doing. Include errors/etc. in the question. – Joe
Macro code still has to generate valid code. What does your working code look like without macro variables? – Reeza
Can you please show what error are you getting to get a better idea of the issue ? – gaurav2141

If i understand your question correctly, you are trying to call a dataset using a macro variable. Below is the code which i quickly tested and its working. Please see if this helps.

%let data=sashelp.class;

data abc;
set &data. (obs=1);
run;
