creating a flag within arrays

pablorodriguez1 — Wed, 19 Apr 2017 19:33:41 GMT

I have one array (h) and want to create another array that creates a flag (1) when the value of array h is bigger than 3.

Find below the code that I am using. Why is it not working?

 data curas.curas_aux2;
    set curas.curas_aux;;
     array h(47);
      array c(47);
            do i=1 to i=47;
        c(i) = 0;
        if h(i) > 3 then do; c(i) = 1;
        end;
    end;

    drop i;
run;

In the future, when some SAS code is not working, please SHOW YOUR SASLOG.

do i=1 to i=47;

should say

do i=1 to 47;

Note that you could replace:

c(i) = 0;
        if h(i) > 3 then do; c(i) = 1;
end;

with:

c(i) = (h(i) > 3);
