Need help with the below question. scan(files,1,' ') ^= 'No' is not working. & all are going to filename1.
some files have 'No records found' & wanted this to go to filename2.
%Macro test(SUMMAR= );
PROC SQL ;
select files into :filename1 separated by '~'
from &SUMMAR where scan(files,1,' ') ^= 'No' ;
%LET FILE_COUNT1=&sqlobs;
QUIT;
PROC SQL ;
select files into :filename2 separated by '~'
from &SUMMAR where scan(files,1,' ') = 'No' ;
%LET FILE_COUNT2=&sqlobs;
QUIT;
code continues...
%MEND;
Thanks,
Ana
Comparisons are case sensitive and you could have a trailing space perhaps?
Check what the SCAN function is returing directly with a PUT statement or data step and then compare that to your criteria.
Show some actual data.
Hi,
Data is bunch of files and some of them will be like 'No records'. I want to identify them by splitting them.
Thanks,
Ana
Try to see the content of that first word with:
PROC SQL ;
select
files,
scan(files, 1, ' ') as firstWord format=$8.,
scan(files, 1, ' ') as firstWordHex format=$hex16.
from &SUMMAR;
quit;
I came up with below code , thought of sharing with you all.
Thanks for all your suggestions. I really appreciate it.
PROC SQL ;
select files into :filename1 separated by '~'
from &SUMMAR where scan(files,1,' ') like '%no%';
%LET FILE_COUNT1=&sqlobs;
QUIT;
PROC SQL ;
select files into :filename2 separated by '~'
from &SUMMAR where scan(files,1,' ') not like '%no%';
%LET FILE_COUNT2=&sqlobs;
QUIT;
Thanks,
Ana
Your query is using a table. What does that table look like?
