Between Dates in Proc Freq

Jesusismygrace — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 20:22:55 GMT

Hello,

I would like to filter the below data produced by Proc Freq between dates. My where statement below isn't working. Help

Title 'BSC Member_Bis Counts';
proc freq data=&Project..enrollment_bis_final_collapsed;
format mctr_based_prod_id $Product.;
ods output onewayfreqs=BSC_Enrollment_Count;
tables mctr_based_prod_id;
WHERE t1.TerminationDate BETWEEN &Term_st. AND &Term_ed.;
run;
Title;

Using "isn't working" as your total description of a problem just .. "doesn't work".

What did you get vs what you expected? Were there any error message on your sas log? What does the log report?

If the log provided no error messages, what erroneous output did the PROC FREQ produce?

Assuming all your macro vars are set & you've defined your format $Product, looks like you are using SQL syntax for your where statement - you do not need the t1. if TerminationDate is in your data set &Project..enrollment_bis_final_collapsed.

If TerminationDate is a variable in &Project..enrollment_bis_final_collapsed then you do not use T1. notation. You should show your log with the error and the code and paste into a text box opened on the forum with the </> icon.

Since you do not show assignments for ANY of the macro variables can't tell if they are appropriate or not.

Such as :

272  proc freq data=sashelp.class;
273     where t1.sex in ('F' 'M');
              ------
              180
ERROR: Syntax error while parsing WHERE clause.
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
274  run;

Dot notation in the middle of a procedure except in very few cases is right out. You would be wrong to include any reference to a data set as once you have a data set on the Proc statement that is the source of all variables.
