Please show the log.

Remember that most data steps do not end at the end of the step. Instead they end when SAS reads past the end of the input. Most likely the input dataset has zero observations. The NOTEs in the SAS log should show that.

Do you have a space and a semi-colon in your code?

Do you have data in your data set (after a possible WHERE clause is applied) ?

Please post the whole log of the data step.

Maybe your log has been redirected. There are many reasons. Please share code and log!

Hello,

I can't remember it, because I posted a long time ago and I couldn't chance to get back to this post, unfortunately.

Thank for your response.
