Folks,
I'm getting the following error 180-322 when I'm running this Macro. From reading online it appears the most logical reason is that I'm missing a semi colon. however, from looking at my code I can't seem to see what the error is.
So I'm creating a new dataset which stacks two datasets on top of each other and then aggregates two variables to create a new variable.
It appears to do it, but I get this every year.
Any help would be most welcome.
%macro survey;
%do year = 2011 %to 2015;
data combine_&year.;
set mywork.combined_sample_&year._5 survey18plus_&year.;
totalincome=sum(of nat_totinc_admin_personal,indoincome);
Dispinc=sum(of nat_dispinc_admin_personal,indodisp);
run;
%end;
%mend;
%survey (2011);
%survey (2012);
%survey (2013);
%survey (2014);
%survey (2015);
36 %survey (2014);

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
The macro is built to process all 5 years. Just call it once and stop trying to tell the macro what year to use:
%survey

Compare the macro signature:
%macro survey;
With the way you are calling it:
%survey (2011);
There is a difference.
