ERROR: The following columns were not found in the contributing tables: KLF, KNS, KSOZ with proc sql

LucianTUM — Mon, 29 Jan 2018 14:36:03 GMT

I have a data set and I just want to do:

proc sql;
create table tmp_ivk as
select
KSOZ,
KNS,
KBTYP,
KLF,
count(*) as N 'N'
from db.grundgesamtheit&jahr1
group by KSOZ,
KNS,
KBTYP,
KLF
order by KSOZ,
KNS,
KBTYP,
KLF
;
quit;

but I get constantly the ERROR message for the second data base.

I also have an another data set and I did the same proc sql and it worked perfectly.

The error message is perfectly clear:

The following columns were not found in the contributing tables: KLF, KNS, KSOZ with proc sql

Since we don't have your data sets, you need to go into the datasets and determine what variables are there and what variables are missing and adjust your SQL accordingly.

Of course is the message clear. I had a look on the dataset and the mentioned variables were present.

When SAS tells you that a variable is not there, it isn't there, period.

Post the log of your code (complete step!), and the part of a proc contents output for all the contributing datasets that shows the variables.

You haven't shown what error message you're getting. That would definitely help to identify what problem your facing.

Looking at your code, a number of possibilities exist. Have you assigned the libname db?, Have you assigned the macro variable jahr1 AND is it part of the actual filename?, and Do all of those variables exist in your datafile?

And yet you expect us to diagnose the problem, but you provide no information at all. We can't look at your datasets. You have all the information. As others have said, show us the SASLOG and PROC CONTENTS.

Solved! Thank you!

I am just a beginner. But, thank you!
