Temporary Data set - no observations

[MisterJenn]

I am trying to create a temporary data set with smokers only (currentsmoker) in it. It says no observations so I know the code is not correct. 

libname hw3 '\\apporto.com\dfs\GWU\Users\kennedyhinnant_gwu\Downloads\Week 3';
data fit1temp;
set hw3.fit2;
if upcase(compress(smoke)) = "CURRENTSMOKER" then currentsmoker = 1;
else if upcase(compress(smoke)) = "NONSMOKER" or 
upcase(compress(smoke)) = "FORMERSMOKER" then currentsmoker = 0;
if blvfx = "yes" or blnspfx = "yes" then any_base_frac = 1;
else if blvfx = "no" and blnspfx = "no" then any_base_frac = 0;
if newvfx = "yes" and newnspfx = "yes" then any_new_frac = 1; 
else if newvfx = "no" and newnspfx = "no" then any_new_frac = 0;
if bmi > 25 then bmi2 = "overweight"; 
else if 0 < bmi <= 25 then bmi2 = "normal";
if 0 < bmi <= 18 then bmi3 = "underweight";
else if 18 < bmi <= 25 then bmi3 = "normal"; 
else if bmi > 25 then bmi3 = "overweight";
bmi1_ind = (bmi > 25);
bmi2_ind = (18 < bmi <= 25);
bmi3_ind = (0 < bmi <= 18);
i_tx = (tx = "Alendronate");
diff_bmd = cobmd-blbmd;
age = (dov - dob)/365.25;
run; 
proc sgplot data=fit1temp;
vbox cobmd/group=tx;

There is no variable CURRENTSMOKER in your dataset hw3.fit2, so the test for it fails.

There are zero observations in FIT1TMP_SMOKE, because you don't have a variable named CURRENTSMOKER in the data set HW3.FIT2, that's what the NOTE: is telling you, the variable is uninitialized. Since the variable doesn't exist, it is never equal to 1, and so no observations are sent to FIT1TMP_SMOKE.

[Kurt_Bremser]

But you have created a variable currentsmoker in dataset work.fit1temp. Maybe you work with the wrong dataset here?

[Reeza]

The variable currentsmoker is created in the data set called fit1temp. 

The filter is applied to the input data set hw3.fit2 where the currentsmoker variable does not exist, therefore you get an error message of 

NOTE: Variable CURRENTSMOKER is uninitialized.

Ensure you're referencing the correct data set.
