SUBTOTALS AND TOTALS IN PROC REPORT

robertrao — Tue, 15 Jan 2013 23:48:04 GMT

Hi Team,

In the following report I am basically trying to get the overall line at the bottom and the subtotals . I get an error:

ERROR: The variable type of READMIT_DENOM.SUM is invalid in this context.

NOTE: The preceding messages refer to the COMPUTE block for Readmit.

ERROR: The variable type of READMIT_RATE_DENOM_CASES.SUM is invalid in this context.

Could you please help me figure out why the error?

Regards

Hi:

Without seeing your data, it is really hard to evaluate all your code. But you are missing an END statement in your COMPUTE block for READMIT. (you have a test for _RBREAK_, but no END.)

Then, I see that you have several aliases. When you alias a variable in the COLUMN statement, you do NOT use the compound name in a COMPUTE block. You use the ALIAS and only the ALIAS. So in the screenshot of my SAS Log, I used code with this COLUMN statement:

column name age sex height=ht weight diff;

As the log shows, in a COMPUTE block, using HEIGHT.SUM would be incorrect, because the alias tells PROC REPORT that you will always refer to the aliassed item as HT. Then, it would ALSO be incorrect to use HT.SUM because HT is NOT an analysis item with the usage of SUM. The USAGE is COMPUTED and so HT would only be referred to as HT in a COMPUTE block.

You might be better off working with Tech Support, where they can look at all your data and all your code to help you figure out what's wrong with the code and/or your logic.
