I am trying to change the numerical variable to read as either 1, 10,20 or 100 but I am getting the errors as shown below.

Kindly help.

 

data HARVEST_UTILIZE_BEANS_enid2;
set HARVEST_UTILIZE_BEANS_enid1;
if HUB_UNITFRESHHV="Kg" then HUB_UNITFRESHHV=1;
if HUB_UNITFRESHHV="Basin (20 pounds)" then HUB_UNITFRESHHV=10;
if HUB_UNITFRESHHV= "Tin/Bucket (20kg)" then HUB_UNITFRESHHV=20;
if HUB_UNITFRESHHV ="Bag/sac 100 kg" then HUB_UNITFRESHHV=100;
/*standardizing the prices, quantities and units of output beans harvested*/
if HUB_UNITGREENC="Kg" then HUB_UNITGREENC=1;
if HUB_UNITGREENC="Tin/Bucket (20Kg)" then HUB_UNITGREENC=20;
if HUB_UNITGREENC ="Basin (20 pounds)" then HUB_UNITGREENC=10;
if HUB_UNITGREENC="Bag/sac 100 kg" then HUB_UNITGREENC=100;
run;

It looks like the variables HUB_UNITFRESHHV and HUB_UNITGREENC are defined as numeric but you're trying to comapre them with character values.

Could you please advise on an alternative way of coding this?

This statement doesn't make much sense.

 

if HUB_UNITFRESHHV="Kg" then HUB_UNITFRESHHV=1;

A varaible cannot be both numeric and character at the same time.

 

Your error message

 

NOTE: Invalid numeric data, 'Kg' , at line 25 column 20.

seems to indicate that HUB_UNITFRESHHV is already a number.

If it is printing as Kg then you probably have a format attached to it.

See what values are actually in the data.  For example run a PROC FREQ and remove the format.

proc freq data=HARVEST_UTILIZE_BEANS_enid1;
  tables HUB_UNITFRESHHV ;
  format _all_ ;
run;

 

ShiroAmada
Lapis Lazuli | Level 10

Try using proc format. In this approach, you have retained your original variable as numeric and masked the values by creating a user-defined format.  Notice that i forced the values to uppercase - this is to standardize my data. "A" is not the same as "a".

proc format;
  value $hubfmt
  'KG'=1
 'BASIN (20 POUNDS)=2
 other='Other'
;
run;

options fmtsearch=(WORK);

/* Here's my sample data */
data WANT;
  input hub $30.;
  cards;
kg
basin (20 pounds)
test
;
run;

proc sql;
  update WANT
  set hub=upcase(hub);
quit;

proc datasets lib=WORK; *Change work to library where your data is;
  modify WANT;
  format HUB $HUBFMT.
run;
quit;
