Macro variables

Hi,
I'm new in Toad and i need help. I have some experiance in writing MySQL in SAS Enterprise Guide. There I could make some macro variables which I could use in a lot of queries, for example:

%let age=25;

proc sql;
create table old25 as
select *
from table
where old=&age;
quit;

proc sql;
create table younger as
select *
from table
where old<&age;
quit;


How can I do that in Toad? I have values which are repeated 10 times or more and I don't want to write them every of that 10 times..... I have found something about bind variables (a have to declare them) but then some window is oped and I have tu put the wright value in it - again 10 times. How can I avoid that?

Please help!

Thanks!

Marijana
