Hello community,
I'm tying to do an insert with a where clause to filter the operators that I've already have on the destination table.
The code is:
PROC SQL;
INSERT INTO LIBNAME.EMPLOYEES AS T1
(OPERATOR,
CODE,
NAME,
POSITION,
DEPARTMENT,
STATUS)
SELECT *
FROM WORK.QUERY AS T2
WHERE T1.OPERATOR NE T2.OPERATOR;
QUIT;
ERROR 79-322: Expecting a SELECT.
ERROR 202-322: The option or parameter is not recognized and will be ignored.
What are you trying to insert? Here is an example of using the insert statement:
proc sql; create table test as select * from sashelp.class where age eq 12 ; insert into test select * from sashelp.class where age ge 15 ; quit;
Art, CEO, AnalystFinder.com
you can do this in two steps an example is shown
/* dataset 1*/
data have1;
input name $ age;
datalines;
bill 20
sam 10
;
/* dataset 2*/
data have2;
input name $ age;
datalines;
bill 20
;
/* create a temp table*/
proc sql;
create table have3 as
select * from have1
where trim(name) not in(select trim(name) from have2);
/* then insert into final table*/
proc sql;
insert into have2(name, age)
select * from have3;
