Hi. I'm trying to create a null numeric variable name Rule_Order in my Proc SQL, but I'm getting this error:
ERROR: The following columns were not found in the contributing tables: null
Can you help me to resolve this error? I'd much appreciate the help.
proc sql;
create table QueryData&ZIP5 as
select *,
"A" as source,
"-" as rule_nm length = 58,
actual_dlvry_date as ad_dt,
null as rule_order
from ods_iv_recon_selected_mp
union all corresponding
select *,
"B" as source,
"-" as rule_nm length = 58,
actual_dlvry_date as ad_dt,
null as rule_order
from ods_bi_recon_selected_mp;
quit;
Is the varaible you want to assign the missing (SAS really doesn't speak NULL) a character or numeric in purpose?
Numeric: . as rule_order
Character: "" as rule_order (best to set a length attribute for the variable if you are updating this later to avoid truncation)
