Indented:
proc datasets lib=work;
     modify test;
     rename b=a;
run;
modify test2;
rename c=b;
run;
quit;

Indented:
%macro lots_of_params(
     param1=,
     /* this param ist for this */
         param2=,
     /* this param ist for this */
             );
     whatever
     %mend;

Having said that, I have rarely relied on automated
indenting.  As a touch typist (as I suspect many aging SAS coders
like myself are), I rely on the TAB key.  So, this bug/feature is not 
very high on my list.  But, thanks for the example.
