Assign value in proc iml variable from another dataset

[shubhodasgupta]

Hi, I am trying to assign a value to a proc iml input from my datatset.  

proc iml;

NumWalks = 100;

NumSteps = 52;

Mean = 0.003;

SD = 0.03;

I want to assign mean and std from dataset of another table 

STOCKNAME     MEAN     STD

A                          0.003     0.034

B                          0.006     0.05

How can I pull the mean and std value from the other dataset?

PROC IML allows you to read values from a data set into a matrix. Example:

Although the way you have described the problem, there's no need for PROC IML, when DATA steps ought to get the job done.

Thank you.

How will I be able to assign the value of Mean to a specific value from the other dataset?
