Errors with an in-line view - how I do I fix them?

Azrel — Sun, 15 Apr 2018 21:31:06 GMT

I hope I've posted this in the right place. I'm a first time user of the forums.

I have a background in SQL and am trying to migrate a SQL case statement using a sub-query into SAS as the tables that I will use to generate the data sit in a SAS dataset. The table I am querying contains client financial transactions and I need to sum them by the SWN identifier, debt identifier, year, month, and transaction type.

The code is as follows:

select t2.swn,

t2.transaction_debt_number,

t2.original_debt_id,

t2.transaction_year,

t2.transaction_month,

sum(case

when t2.transaction_type in ('Debt Recovery - cash receipt', 'Debt Recovery - Offset') then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_REC,

sum(case

when transaction_type = 'Debt Adjustment' then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_ADJ,

sum(case

when transaction_type = 'Debt Created' then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_EST,

sum(case

when transaction_type = 'Debt Writeoff' then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_WO,

sum(case

when transaction_type in ('Debt Recovery - cash receipt', 'Debt Recovery - Offset') then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_REC,

t2.transaction_service_code,

t2.transaction_debt_type

from

(SELECT t1.swn,

t1.transaction_debt_number,

t1.original_debt_id,

t1.transaction_value,

t1.transaction_type,

year(t1.transaction_date) as transaction_year,

month(t1.transaction_date) as transaction_month,

t1.transaction_service_code,

t1.transaction_debt_type

FROM CTATFULL.DEBT_RECOVERY_TIMESERIES t1)

as act_data t2

(transaction swn,

transaction_debt_number,

original_debt_id,

transaction_value,

transaction_type,

transaction_year,

transaction_month,

transaction_service_code,

transaction_debt_type)

group by t2.swn,

t2.original_debt_id,

t2.year,

t2.month

;

QUIT;

The sub-query, when run on it's own, works. But when I try to use it as a sub-query, I get an error in the following log:

PROC SQL;

CREATE TABLE WORK.FILTER_FOR_DEBT_RECOVERY_TIMESER AS

select t2.swn,

t2.transaction_debt_number,

t2.original_debt_id,

t2.transaction_year,

t2.transaction_month,

sum(case

when t2.transaction_type in ('Debt Recovery - cash receipt', 'Debt Recovery - Offset') then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_REC,

sum(case

when transaction_type = 'Debt Adjustment' then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_ADJ,

sum(case

when transaction_type = 'Debt Created' then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_EST,

sum(case

when transaction_type = 'Debt Writeoff' then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_WO,

sum(case

when transaction_type in ('Debt Recovery - cash receipt', 'Debt Recovery - Offset') then transaction_value

else 0

end) as DEBT_REC,

t2.transaction_service_code,

t2.transaction_debt_type

from

(SELECT t1.swn,

The SAS System 10:38 Wednesday, April 11, 2018

t1.transaction_debt_number,

month(t1.transaction_date) as transaction_month,

t1.transaction_service_code,

t1.transaction_debt_type

FROM CTATFULL.DEBT_RECOVERY_TIMESERIES t1)

as act_data t2

transaction_value,

transaction_type,

transaction_year,

transaction_month,

transaction_service_code,

transaction_debt_type)

order by swn

;

NOTE: PROC SQL set option NOEXEC and will continue to check the syntax of statements.

QUIT;

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been searching the forums for how to fix this but haven't been able to find a solution that works. Thanks in advance!

issue with your code is at below line

as act_data t2

change to

as t2

Hi, thanks for your response.

I tried making the change, but got the following error:

63 FROM CTATFULL.DEBT_RECOVERY_TIMESERIES t1)

64 as t2

65 (transaction swn,

___

ERROR 78-322: Expecting a ','.

Any ideas?

i tried similar query and it works without error

proc sql;
create table want as
select age, sex, count(*) from
(select age, sex from sashelp.class) as t2(age, sex)
group by t2.sex, t2.age
order by t2.age;

My organisation is on SAS 7.11 - would this affect the ability to run the code I'm trying to run?

I guess you mean SAS EG version. It should not have impact.
