proc SQL update table with CASE when

SASAna — Sun, 30 Oct 2016 01:06:12 GMT

Hi SAS users,

I need help with writing this SQL correctly. I need to update/alter a table with status of 'SUCCESS/FAILURE' based on the case condition .

UPDATE &SUM_TABLE A
SET
STAT = 'SUCCESS'

case WHEN ((B.INPUT_CNT - A.UNIQUE_CLAIM_ID)=0
(SELECT COUNT(*) AS INPUT_CNT

FROM MANUAL_TEMP B)

)
ELSE 'FAILURE'
END;

Thanks,

Ana

  then 'TRUE'
 else 'FALUSE' 
 end;

Proper syntax would be:

UPDATE &SUM_TABLE
SET
	STAT = case 
		when UNIQUE_CLAIM_ID = (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM MANUAL_TEMP)
			then 'SUCCESS'
			else 'FAILURE'
			end;

but I doubt that this is what you really want to do. I doesn't look right to equate a claim ID with the record count in another table. Could you explain what the SUCCESS/FAILURE condition is supposed to be?
