Hi All-
Wondering how to code the following scenario in SAS.
Ideally all the rows in the table should pass the below criteria for the 3 dates.
COLL_DT < REC_DT < RESULT_DT.
I now want to create a list of ppl on whom the above criteria is not met.
BOB
proc print ;
where not (COLL_DT < REC_DT < RESULT_DT);
var id COLL_DT REC_DT RESULT_DT;
run;
proc print ;
where not (COLL_DT < REC_DT < RESULT_DT);
var id COLL_DT REC_DT RESULT_DT;
run;
Tom -
Thanks on your promp reply. I want the output into a dataset as I need to merge later. I think the same WHERE statment in PROC SQL can get me into a dataset. But wondering if there is an approch in Datastep that does that for me.
Bob
It is really no different.
data want;
set have;
where not (COLL_DT < REC_DT < RESULT_DT);
run;
If you need to limit it to one record per person/item/whatever then you might want something like:
data want;
set have;
where not (COLL_DT < REC_DT < RESULT_DT);
by id;
if first.id;
keep id;
run;
Same difference:
data want ;
set have ( where=( not (COLL_DT < REC_DT < RESULT_DT)));
run;
