Do statements

Hi,

I have trouble running this. I would like values for x.

data A;

y=1 to 200;

do i = 1 to 5 while (y-i>0);

x=(y-i)*3;

output;

end;

Thanks!

I am not sure what is the output you seeking is look like exactly ;

But maybe this is what you want

data A; 
do y=1 to 200; 
	do i = 1 to 5 while (y-i>0); 
		x=(y-i)*3;
		output;  
	end; 
end;
run;

So you will have two loops one for y and the other for i

and each loop should end by END; statment.

I am trying to find all possible values for x when y is 1 to 200…

i.e. if i=5 and y=10 then x=15…

Then the above code is what you want.

Perhaps your loops should begin like this:

do y=1 to 200;

do i = 1 to y-1;
