Proc SQL Ranking

Jyuen204 — Wed, 20 Nov 2019 17:46:38 GMT

I have a table where I have an IDAGENT_IDAGENT_NAME, TEAM_LEAD_NM, DATE

I am trying to use Proc SQL to generate a rank because the ID and NAME are duplicated.

proc sql;
select AGENT_ID, AGENT_NAME, TEAM_LEAD_NM, rank() over (Partition by AGENT_LAN_ID
order by sys_load_dtm desc) as RANK
from TABLE
where AGENT_NAME = 'Smith, John';
run;

The error i get is:

____
22
76
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: !, !!, &, *, **, +, ',', -, /, <, <=, <>, =, >, >=, ?, AND, BETWEEN,
CONTAINS, EQ, EQT, GE, GET, GT, GTT, LE, LET, LIKE, LT, LTT, NE, NET, OR, ^=, |, ||, ~=.

ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

what is the proper syntac in PROC SQL to rank my data?

Thank you!

If you absolutely want to use SQL, you must first sort the data and use the unsupported monotonic() function, and then use that data for subsequent processing.

Feel free to vote here and here to change this, if you think it makes a difference.
