Hi!

 

am new to SAS and stuck.  trying to get a subset of my data using this code:

data  sasuser.op2;
set sasuser.op
if DEPRES = 1;
run;
proc freq;
tables DEPRES;
run;

You forgot a semicolon after the SET statement.

 

Please include your log and a detailed explanation of what your problem is....you never actually say what happens or what's not working so I'm guessing at the issue right now.

Of course, if you don't actually need the subset file, the following would run faster:

proc freq data=sasuser.op (where=(DEPRES = 1));
  tables DEPRES;
run;

Your SET statement is missing a semicolon.
