ERROR 22-322: Syntax error. Proc Univariate

kjyon2 — Sun, 09 Jul 2017 15:24:57 GMT

I have obtained an error message when running the Proc Univariate for my datasets.

Can anyone assist me in overcoming this error?

The error result is shown below and see attachment::

Proc univariate data=asmt_raw_cervical_cancer;

61 var Age , Number_of_sexual_partners , 'First_sexual_intercourse_(age)'n , Number_of_pregnancies , 'Smokes_(years)'n ,

______

61 ! 'Smokes_(packs/year)'n, 'IUD_(years)'n, 'STDs_(how_many?)'n, Number_of_diagnosis'n , 'STDs_Year_since_first_diagnosis'n ,

61 ! 'STDs_Year_since_last_diagnosis'n;

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, ;, -, :, _ALL_, _CHARACTER_, _CHAR_, _NUMERIC_.

NOTE 49-169: The meaning of an identifier after a quoted string might change in a future SAS release. Inserting white space

In Base SAS, variables in var lists are separated only by blanks, not by commas.

For future reference, paste code from the log with error messages into a code box using the forum {i} icon. That will preserve the plain text format of the log and the underscore characters, which show where SAS detected the error will align correctly. The main message windows on this forum will reformat pasted text otherwise.
