It appears the code won't recognize the date I am inputting in my optimization model. Here is the code:

Data incost;
infile datalines dsd delimiter = '09'x;
input Product $ Factory $ CrossDock $ incost;
datalines;

Stylish 2 CD1 23
Stylish 3 CD1 35

Stylish 3 CD2 14
Stylish 4 CD2 12

There are two data issues:

1. Change Liesure to Leisure in the first data set.

2. Your data sets have Factory and DC as strings, but the corresponding OPTMODEL sets are numeric.  One way to correct the type mismatch is to change the DATA step INPUT statements as follows:

   input Product $ Factory CrossDock $ incost;

   input Product $ CrossDock $ DC Outcost;

An alternative approach is to keep the original INPUT statements and instead change the SET declarations to strings:

set Factory= {'1','2','3','4','5'};

set DC = {'1','2','3','4','5'};

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your response. The solution worked! I was curious why changing the input statements worked. How did the data types change when I changed the $ symbol location. As you can probably tell, I am vary new to SAS, so an explanation would really help :). Thank you for all the help.

The $ in the INPUT statement indicates that the variable is character instead of numeric.
