"Group By" clause keep giving me an error, not sure why.

I have created the code below in SAS EG. For some reasons I can't pass the group by clause.

			WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age &gt; 64 THEN '65+'
			ELSE NULL
		END 
	AS Age_Group

The error seems to be saying you are trying to reference a variable named NULL.

Probably from the this CASE clause? Which also seems to have some HTML tags in there, but perhaps that was introduced by you copying and pasting the text from a webpage?

, CASE
    WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age &lt; 18 THEN 'Child'
    WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age BETWEEN 18 AND 64 THEN 'Adult'
    WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age &gt; 64 THEN '65+'
    ELSE NULL
  END AS Age_Group

If you want AGE_GROUP to be blank when none of the conditions are met then use

ELSE ' '

But also your ELSE condition can never happen. Values from 18 thru 64 will be set to 'Adult' and values larger than 64 will be set to '65+' and everything else will be set to 'Child'. SAS only does BINARY logic. Missing numeric values are considered less than any actual number.

Something like this will catch the missing values and also any negative values.

, CASE
    WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age BETWEEN 0 AND 18 THEN 'Child'
    WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age BETWEEN 18 AND 64 THEN 'Adult'
    WHEN CLAIMS_HDR.Age > 64 THEN '65+'
    ELSE ' '
  END AS Age_Group
