Proc SQL subquery in a left join

cmcquain — Wed, 17 Jan 2018 15:22:39 GMT

I am trying to use a subquery within a left join and I am getting this error.

ERROR: ORACLE prepare error: ORA-00905: missing keyword. SQL statement: select WDM_HSBSB_SUBSC.SBSB_ID as CARD_HLDR_ID_NUM,

WDM_HMEME_MEMBER.MEME_FIRST_NAME || ' ' || WDM_HMEME_MEMBER.MEME_LAST_NAME as PATIENT_NAME, WDM_HMEME_MEMBER.MEME_BIRTH_DT

Here is a sample of my code

left join

( select

max (HIDCD_SK) as max_HIDCD_SK,

IDCD_DESC

from WDM_HIDCD_DIAG_CD

where max_HIDCD_SK = HIDCD_SK) as DIAG_DESC

on (WDM_DDIST_DIAG_SET.DDIST_IDCD_AD = DIAG_DESC.max_HIDCD_SK)

where

WDM_HSBSB_SUBSC.SBSB_ID in

('XXXXX')

and WDM_DFNIN_FUNDING_INFO.DFNIN_CLAIM_TYPE <> 'R' /* R = pharmacy */

and WFT_FCDML_CL_LINE.FCDML_RPT_PAID_DT <> WFT_FCDML_CL_LINE.FCDML_PROCESS_DT

and WDM_HCLCL_CLAIM.HCLCL_AS_OF_TO_DT = '31-Dec-9999'

and WDM_DCDBC_CL_LINE_BCN_CODES.DCDCD_DENIAL_IND = 'N'

What am I doing wrong?

Since you are not sharing the full code, I'm assuming your submitting this in a pass through block (...FROM CONNECTION TO...).

Everything within this block is totally agnostic for SAS, it's the responsibility for the target DBMS (Oracle). So reach out to your fellow Oracle users instead.

You are correct I am using a pass through. I will start searching oracle joins then.

Thank you

where max_HIDCD_SK = HIDCD_SK) as DIAG_DESC

on (WDM_DDIST_DIAG_SET.DDIST_IDCD_AD = DIAG_DESC.max_HIDCD_SK)

That first line doesn't look correct, you usually don't alias on WHERE conditions?

Where does your subquery end? I don't see any closing bracket.

It's there. I just didn't copy and paste it.
