proc ttest

asifgeneral — Mon, 16 Jul 2018 17:34:54 GMT

Hi, Here is the code that I have written. The file is stored in the work library.

proc ttest data=work.Ameshousing
plots(shownull)=interval
H0=135000;
var SalePrice;
title "One-Sample t-test testing whether mean SalePrice=$135,000";
run;

title;

I am getting the below error

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: ;, (, ALPHA, CI, COCHRAN, DATA, H0.
ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

Please make our life easier. Show us the relevant parts of the SASLOG, in this case the entire PROC TTEST code and associated warnings and error messages, so we can see where the error appears.

CLick on the {i} icon and paste your SASLOG into the window that appears.

Ran your code, modifying it to use SASHELP.SHOES and no errors were generated.

Couple of reasons why this may happen:

Code shown is not the cause of the error
Code used is different than what's posted
You're using an older version of SAS and are using some option that isn't supported in that version

I'm guessing on #1 or #3.

You can check your version using

proc product_status;run;

You're specifically looking for your SAS version and SAS/ETS versions.
