How to apply the variable value to all proc reports in a program to create individual files.

mandonium — Mon, 14 Jan 2019 21:18:32 GMT

Hello,

I'm creating subject profiles and I want to know how to apply the subject (patient) id into all proc reports in one ODS pdf output. Right now there are only 20 subjects and I manually enter them at the top (highlighted in pink) to make one sas program for all subjects. I would like to have one program to run all subject profiles. I did make a global program that runs all the individual subject profiles, but this study is growing and I would like something simplier. Any help is greatly appreciated. Here is my code:

%let ptno = 018 -1007;

%let subj = where patient="&ptno";

goptions device=actximg;

ods listing close;
options orientation=landscape;
ods pdf file="&path_out\patient profiles_018-1007_&rundate..pdf" style=conatus;

proc report data=ae01 nowd headskip split='\';
	title4 height=10pt justify=left "Subject &ptno" height=10pt justify=center 'Adverse Events';
	column	patient aeno path aeterm aestdat aesttim aeendat aeentim aeser_display aesev_display 
		aerel1_display aerel2_display aeacn3_display aeacnoth_display aeout_display;
	&subj;
	define	patient /			style=[just=c vjust=t cellwidth=20mm]	display "Subject ID" ;

If the results for each patient have to be in individual PDF files, then you have to write a loop that loops through all possible patients.

/**** UNTESTED CODE ****/
%macro dothis;
proc sql noprint;
    select distinct patient into :patients separated by '~' from ae01;
quit;


%do i=1 %to &sqlobs;
    %let this_patient = %scan(&patients,&i,~);
    ods pdf file="&path_out\patient profiles_&this_patient._&rundate..pdf"
        style=conatus;
    proc report data=ae01(where=(patient="&this_patient")) nowd headskip ...;
    ...
    run;
    ods pdf close;
%end;
%mend;
%dothis

Hello,

First put the code in a macro and then apply on the varying parameter. You can create a list of parameters and then can call the macro using call execute.

Example (not tested);

%Macro Pt_report(ptno);
goptions device=actximg;

ods listing close;
options orientation=landscape;
ods pdf file="&path_out\patient profiles_&ptno_&rundate..pdf" style=conatus;

proc report data=ae01 nowd headskip split='\';
	title4 height=10pt justify=left "Subject &ptno" height=10pt justify=center 'Adverse Events';
	column	patient aeno path aeterm aestdat aesttim aeendat aeentim aeser_display aesev_display 
		aerel1_display aerel2_display aeacn3_display aeacnoth_display aeout_display;
	where patient="&ptno";
	define	patient /			style=[just=c vjust=t cellwidth=20mm]	display "Subject ID" ;
	define	aeno /				order noprint;
	define	path /				style=[just=l vjust=t cellwidth=20mm]	display "Path";
	define	aeterm /			style=[just=l vjust=t cellwidth=50mm]	order id;
	define	aestdat /			style=[just=c vjust=t cellwidth=25mm] page;
	define	aesttim /			style=[just=c vjust=t cellwidth=25mm];

Thanks Suryakiran,

I changed the ptno to patient because that's the variable name. I run the updated program and got this message:

Any suggestions?

Poste code and errors into a code box instead of a picture. Use the forum's {I} icon to open the box. Then just copy and paste from the log. Best is to include as a minimum an entire data step or procedure call. Some errors are actually caused by something on a previous line and the line reported with an error may not contain the actual reason.

Also with text of the code we can edit the text to show what is needed instead of having to type a description like: it looks like you are missing a comma following the "strip(patient)" part of your code.

You don't need to use strip with CATS. Note from the documentation:

CATS Function

Removes leading and trailing blanks, and returns a concatenated character string.

I used the code box first but the red underline was not in the same position. That's why I chose to capture a screen shot instead.

Thanks for the help. I will make the change and let you know what happens.

Thank You! Worked like a charm! 🙂
