I am doing like this. data l2; input id no; cards; 1 100 2 200 3 300 run; proc sql; select count(max(no)) into :l2 from l2 where id=3; quit; i am getting this ERROR ERROR: Summary functions nested in this way are not supported. i want the output that macro L2 should have count as 1.
For your Ref
You might need to use having keyword for condition of summary variables.
If I have understood what you mean.
data l2; input id no; cards; 1 100 2 200 3 300 run; proc sql; select count(*) into :l2 from l2 where id=3 having no=max(no); quit; %put &l2;

small probelm data l2; input id no; cards; 1 100 2 200 3 300 3 400 run; proc sql; select count(*) into :l2 from l2 where id=3 having no=max(no); quit; %put &l2; But i want the count id =3 and no having max count here the max(no)=400 so i should get count as 1 but it was getting output as 2.
Hi,
Try this...Hope it helps..
proc sql;
select count(id) as count into :s2 from l2 where id =(select max(id) from l2);
quit;
Thanks,

It is very intesting . I don't realize it will appear so weird result. Try it.
data l2; input id no; cards; 1 100 2 200 3 300 3 400 ; run; proc sql; select count(*) into :l2 from (select * from l2 group by id having id=3 and no=max(no) ) ; quit; %put &l2;
