I've been looking through the forums and have seen this issue crop up before. It looks like it should be some form of semicolon placement but I've tried running this seperately and couldn't find the issue. Does anyone have an idea?
I'm trying to create a macro to isolate patients from one dataset (labelled "SOURCE.fo_id", for the ID variable) with any new dataset ("&data") - the code for this is below.
%MACRO subset (data=); DATA &data._fo; MERGE SOURCE.fo_id (in= info_id) &data (in= inmerge); BY ID; IF info_id inmerge; RUN; %MEND subset;
However, everytime I try to run this I'm recieving the following error message:
22: LINE and COLUMN cannot be determined.
NOTE 242-205: NOSPOOL is on. Rerunning with OPTION SPOOL might allow recovery of the LINE and
COLUMN where the error has occurred.
Has anyone encountered this issue before or have any suggestions? Am I missing something silly?
Yes, an easy fix. Assuming you want matches on ID:
if info_id and inmerge;

That change worked! Thank you so much!!
