I have the following commands in SAS:

F_sectors = {'F01000', 'F02000', 'F03000', 'F04000', 'F06C00', 'F06I00','F07C00', 'F07I00', 'F08C00', 'F08I00', 'F09C00', 'F09I00'};

pce_sector = {'F01000'};

and runnig them I get the following error:

124   F_sectors = {'F01000', 'F02000', 'F03000', 'F04000', 'F06C00', 'F06I00','F07C00',

      ---------

      180

124! 'F07I00', 'F08C00', 'F08I00', 'F09C00', 'F09I00'};

ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.

125

126   pce_sector = {'F01000'};

Are these IML statments? Could it be that somehow you are not in IML, that either you have neglected to do a proc iml; statement or maybe you quit the IML proc?

Without all of the code it's hard to diagnose but this is a common error if the previous statement does not end with a semicolon or since you have lot's of strings, an unclosed string or possibly unbalance " and ' for a string.

Thank you very much, that was the issue of not having the IML there.

You can make this work without explicitly writing PROC IML in your code if you use SAS IML Studio http://support.sas.com/rnd/app/studio/studio.html
