Logical expression play differently between %eval and DATA step

When programming macro, It is helpful to complete it in a DATA step and then port the code to macro. However, not all tricks in DATA step work in macro world.

Below is one tip for that:

data _null_;
    do a=1 to 4;
        if 1 < a < 3 then put a= "is between 1 and 3";
    end;
run;

%macro test();
    %put Wrong example:;
    %do a=1 %to 4;
        %if %eval(1 < &a < 3) %then 
            %put a=&a is between 1 and 3;
    %end;

    %put Correct example:;
    %do a=1 %to 4;
        %if %eval(1 < &a and &a < 3) %then 
            %put a=&a is between 1 and 3;
    %end;
%mend;

%test()
