Re: error: subscript out of range

You read in month_prof from the PROF data set, which apparently has 484 observations. However, the n_farms variable, which is the upper limit of the "DO I" loop, is based on the number of observations in the OUTPUTS data set, which is apparently greater than 484. (I can't tell how many obs because you are using the NONOTES option.)

In short, the program loops DO i = 1 TO n_farms and accesses the i_th row of month_prof. As soon as i exceeds 484, you get the "invalid subscript or subscript out of range" error.

Thanks Rick!

That was exactly the problem, I used Proc Print to look more closely at 'outputs' to find there were 5 extra observations for each variable that were all blank. If this is the case, is this error a problem? i.e. will my results be affected?

Re: error: subscript out of range

Rick_SAS — Tue, 03 May 2016 17:36:40 GMT

Yes, errors are always a problem that should be investigated and fixed. The best thing to do is figure out why those five blank observations are there.

If you fail at that task, you could truncate the month_lb matrix so that it is always the same size as month_prof:

month_lb = month_lb[1:nrow(month_prof), ];

However, you'll feel better if you find out why the data sets are not the same size.

Got it! Thanks again, Rick!
