Hi Everyone,

 

I want to end an iteration and move to a new iteration when sample size is less than 5.

 

Can you please help me with that?

 

Thank you and have a nice weekend.

%MACRO test;
	%do i=1 %to 100;
%do J=1 %to 100; LOT OF ANALYSIS; PROC SQL; SELECT COUNT(*) INTO: SAMPLE_SIZE FROM HAVE;QUIT; %IF &SAMPLE_SIZE<5 %THEN END THE INNER-LOOP (J) LOT OF ANALYSIS; %end; %end; %MEND;

 

KEY

 

%MACRO test;
	%do i=1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&rr_list));
		%do J=1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&sl_list));

		LOT OF ANALYSIS;

		PROC SQL; SELECT COUNT(*) INTO: SAMPLE_SIZE FROM HAVE;QUIT;

		%IF &SAMPLE_SIZE<5 %THEN %GOTO EXIT_EXIT_EXIT;

		LOT OF ANALYSIS;

		%EXIT_EXIT_EXIT;

		%end;

	%end;
%MEND;

Thank you.

So it will be like that, right?

%MACRO test;
	%do i=1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&rr_list));
		%do J=1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&sl_list));

		LOT OF ANALYSIS;

		PROC SQL; SELECT COUNT(*) INTO: SAMPLE_SIZE FROM HAVE;QUIT;

		%IF &SAMPLE_SIZE<5 %THEN %GOTO EXIT_EXIT_EXIT;

		LOT OF ANALYSIS;

		%EXIT_EXIT_EXIT:

		%end;

	%end;
%MEND;

I think you want to replace the semi-colon after 

%EXIT_EXIT_EXIT;

with a colon (i.e., : )
