Dear Expert,
I should do a calculation calculate the difference between two variables:
- dataset_201610
- dataset 201609
starting from the point that:
¤t.=201610
&prev.=201609
How can I flexibly specify the columns using something like:
data_set_"¤t."-data_set_"&prev."?
Thanks a lot in advance,
SH
Like this? Have simply dropped the ""..
data have;
input dataset_201610 dataset_201609;
datalines;
10 5
20 1
;
%let current = 201610;
%let prev = 201609;
data want;
set have;
newvar = dataset_¤t-dataset_&prev;
run;
