Hi All,
Please find the code below : I want to create variables D2, D3, D4, D5,D6,D7 and D8 from variable TPjNL based on conditions... But somehow I am not able to produce it correctly... Need help on this
PROC SQL NOPRINT;
CREATE TABLE TEMP AS
SELECT
CASE TPjNL WHEN
NM="Medical "
THEN D2 ,
ELSE WHEN
NM="Income "
THEN D3 ,
ELSE WHEN
NM="Workers'"
THEN D4 ,
ELSE WHEN
NM="Motor "
THEN D5 ,
ELSE WHEN
NM="Other motor "
THEN D6 ,
ELSE WHEN
NM="Marine"
THEN D7 ,
ELSE WHEN
NM="General "
THEN D8
ELSE "."
END;
QUIT;
Your code is doing the opposite of your request. You care creating one variable from many variables.
To make many variables you would need many CASE statements. Assuming you want to split copy TPJNL into variables D2,D3,... then use something like this:
select
case when (NM='Medical') then TPJNL else . end as D2
,case when (NM='Income') then TPJNL else . end as D3
