I have imported a data set which has warnings regarding some observations identified by row number. I need to see what those are. How do I run PROC PRINT with a WHERE condition to identify specific rows in the data set? Where _n_ = 2385445 does not seem to work. Thanks.
Hello @RandoDando,
The automatic variable _N_ counts DATA step iterations, so it's not available in a PROC step. But you can use FIRSTOBS= and OBS= dataset options:
proc print data=have(firstobs=2385445 obs=2385445);
run;
Or, if you want to include two observations before and two after the row of interest:
proc print data=have(firstobs=2385443 obs=2385447);
run;
