Hi,

 

I am trying to create a nested loop but I am getting an error. I am getting the error message: 'Expecting an relational or arithmetic operator'

 

The code I am using is as follows:

 

%macro nested_reg;
%do j = 2 %to 3;

%macro variables;
%do i = 1 %to 69;

data regress_&i.(drop = ceiling cdist time_L_ lvol mkt midpoint counter);
set org_dual.dual_&i.;

lvol = log(volume); lvol1 = lag(lvol); lvol2 = lag2(lvol); lvol3 = lag3(lvol); 

if cdist1 <= j. then m=1;
else m=0;

The error flags at the line  (Expecting an relational or arithmetic operator'):

if cdist1 <= j. then m=1;
else m=0;

I was hoping that the value of 'j' would be subsituted in here. This is not working, can anyone help me with this issue?

 

Thanks,

 

Ed
