Auto Indenter bug ?

simmwa — Mon, 02 Mar 2020 23:56:55 GMT

The following "do I=1 to 2" code will fail after Auto Indenter is run using CTRL-I on SAS EG. The error only occurs when the do loop is part of an "else if" condition.

data have;
input col1$ col2;
datalines;
a 0123
b 345
b 456
d 711189
x    
u 3033
w 1234567890
run;

data want1;
set have;
if col1 = 'b' then do;
	new = cats('b', col2); output; end;
else if col1 = 'd' then do i= 1 to 2;
	if i = 1 then do; new = cats('d', col2); output; end;
	if i = 2 then do; new = cats('db', col2); output; end;
	end;
run;

data want2;
set have;
if col1 = 'b' then do i= 1 to 2;
	if i = 1 then do; new = cats('b', col2); output; end;
	if i = 2 then do; new = cats('bc', col2); output; end;
	end;
else if col1 = 'd' then do;
	new = cats('d', col2); output; end;
run;

After CRTL-I there is an extra semi colon between the do and I = 1 to 2

data want1;
	set have;

	if col1 = 'b' then
		do;
			new = cats('b', col2);
			output;
		end;
	else if col1 = 'd' then
		do;
			i= 1 to 2;

			if i = 1 then
				do;
					new = cats('d', col2);
					output;
				end;

			if i = 2 then
				do;
					new = cats('db', col2);
					output;
				end;
		end;
run;

Is there some Indenter option I have set incorrectly ?

Using SAS EG8.2 I can replicate what you describe. It looks like formatting code adds a semicolon to the code....

Looks like a bug to me. Can you please raise this with SAS Technical Support

Before formatting the code

After formatting the code

SAS Technical support were able to replicate and are now working on a fix.
