data WORK.Time ; infile 'Data.csv' delimiter = ',' MISSOVER DSD lrecl=32767 firstobs=2 ; format StartTime datetime. ; format ClosingTime datetime. ; input ID $12. StartTime :YMDDTTM. ClosingTime :YMDDTTM. Fee time=INTCK('minute',ClosingTime,StartTime);

I tried to use the above code to input two time variables and calculate the interval between them. The time format was like
2014-01-01 02:56:37 and after reading into SAS, it is like 01JAN14:02:56:37
when I use
time=INTCK('minute',ClosingTime,StartTime);
but the INTCK function gave error:
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, arrayname, _ALL_, _CHARACTER_,
_CHAR_, _NUMERIC_.
ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.
when I use
time = ClosingTime-StartTime;
RROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (ClosingTime-StartTime).
any hints?
Are you missing the semicolon at the end of the INPUT statement?
Are you missing the semicolon at the end of the INPUT statement?
