STD problem

rpg163 — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 02:41:18 GMT

Hi, I am trying to calculate the standard deviation of follow variables:

data sample;

set EVA_Inv.sample_v1;

array a CFO_ta Sales_Ta Inv_Total;

array b std_CFO std_Sales std_Inv;

do i=1 to dim(a);

b(i)=std(a(i),lag(a(i)),lag2(a(i)));

end;

std_cfo1=std(CFO_ta,lag(CFO_ta),lag2(CFO_ta));

run;

well, it seems "std_cfo1" get result, yet all b(i) return missing value.

What's the problem?

Anyone can please tell me? THX!

I tested it. No problem.

data sample;
    set sashelp.class;
        array a{*} age weight height;
        array b{*} _age _weight _height;       
        do i=1 to dim(a);
            b{i}=std(a{i},lag(a{i}),lag2(a{i}));
    end;
run;
