I wish to ask if any can help correct the bold section of the code below????

THANKS

Data sim;

Input A B;

cards;

1 3

2 7

3 10

4 12

;

Run;

proc iml;

use sim;

read all var{A B} into DM;

close;

A = DM[,1]; B = DM[,2];

n = nrow(DM);

start Func(x);

return( exp(2-x)#[cdf("Normal", x-10)-cdf("Normal", x-4)]*exp(-x) );

finish;

answer = j(nrow(DM),1);

do i = 1 to nrow(DM);

call quad(result, "Func", A || B,);

answer = result;

end;

create kaplan1n var{A B Answer };

append;

quit;

It doesn't like the square brackets. Why are they there?

I see, This works,

Data sim;

Input A B;

cards;

1 3

2 7

3 10

4 12

;

Run;

proc iml;

use sim;

read all var{A B} into DM;

close;

A = DM[,1]; B = DM[,2];

n = nrow(DM);

start Func(x);

return( exp(2-x)#(cdf("Normal", x-10)-cdf("Normal", x-4))*exp(-x) );

finish;

answer = j(nrow(DM),1);

do i = 1 to nrow(DM);

call quad(result, "Func", A || B,);

answer = result;

end;

create kaplan1n var{A B Answer };

append;

quit;
