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.

jamuriuk · Posted 09-12-2017 08:42 PM

ChrisBrooks:

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

Tom · Posted 09-12-2017 10:59 PM

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 · Posted 09-12-2017 11:07 PM

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;
