Hello All,

 

I am trying to get adjusted GPA but SAS keeps giving me an errror. I got the student GPA = 3.18 so I put:

 

PROC MEANS DATA= STUDENTS MEAN;
VAR GPA;
RUN;

 

DATA ADJ GPA;
SET STUDENTS;
ADJ GPA = STUDENT MEAN - GPA;
RUN;

 

I keep getting statement is not valid, can you help??

 

Thanks!

You need to use valid SAS names for variables and datasets. Valid SAS names contain only letters, digits and underlines, and start with either a letter or underline. No blanks.

How is this different that your previous question? Which have valid answers?
