Conditional Statement in PROC

Ujjawal — Sun, 26 Jul 2015 15:56:42 GMT

Is it possible to write IF-THEN-ELSE statement under any procedure?

%macro (depvar=,numvars=,charvars=);

proc logistic data = abc descending;

class &charvars / param = ref;

model &depvar = &numvars &charvars / selection = stepwise;

run;

%mend;

I want the following statement wrapped in IF THEN condition. It should run only if an user specify variable(s) in CHARVARS parameter in the macro.

class &charvars / param = ref;

Something like this :

proc logistic data = abc descending;

%IF countw(&charvars) = 0 %THEN;

class &charvars / param = ref;

%END;

model &depvar = &numvars &charvars / selection = stepwise;

run;

1. Functions in macro code you need to use %sysfunc

2. I think you mean to check if Countw is greater than 0, not equal to 0.

Perhaps something like the following:

%IF %sysfunc(countw(&charvars)) > 0 %THEN;

class &charvars / param = ref;

%END;

Try this:

%IF &CHARVARS ^= %STR( ) %THEN %DO; CLASS...; %END;
