I still a novice so forgive me if this is stupid. I am attempting to run the set of programs twice in a row for two different time periods. I set variables that go into 2019 tables and put together the tables I want then I reassign the variables to go into 2018 tables and pull the data. I can't bring 2019 and 2018 in together because the tables they pull from are different (there isnt one table with both 2018 and 2019 data) and also sometimes I may only want to pull for one time period.
Why does sas not let me run two ordered lists in a row that have some of the same programs in them?
You probably should show the code you attempted and preferably include the LOG that shows any messages from the attempt.
SAS is likely not the issue but the logic of the code you attempted.
You may also need to describe where your "list" resides. The typical data structure called a "list", as far as my experience with SAS goes, involves the SAS/AF and SAS/FSP modules.
