I am having difficulty in creating define.xml file. When I run this part of code...

 

%ImportALLMeta(CRT-Specification-V1.0,"dm,suppdm,
DatasetMetadata,
StudyInfo,
ValueLevel,
ControlledTerminology,
Methods,
Comments")

 

It shows log out put as shown below - 

 

11826 %ImportALLMeta(CRT-Specification-V1.0,"dm,suppdm,
11827 DatasetMetadata,
11828 StudyInfo,
11829 ValueLevel,
11830 ControlledTerminology,
11831 Methods,
11832 Comments")


ERROR: A character operand was found in the %EVAL function or %IF condition where a numeric
operand is required. The condition was: &len
ERROR: The %TO value of the %DO J loop is invalid.
ERROR: The macro IMPORTALLMETA will stop executing.

 

 

How to correct this error? Any suggestion?

PS: I am using SAS 9.0 version

I am attaching file if you have problem in solving it.

PROC Star

Try issuing this statement first then re-running:

 

options mprint mlogic symbolgen;

 

That will provide more information in the log.

Ok. Here is the detailed log of error.

Better call SAS technical support for that.  There's no reasonable way that %SYSFUNC(COUNTW could return a number like -6E307.
