Creating Macro variables based on min max of id field

[jerry898969]

I have a table that has a column called keyid.  I need to get the min and max of this field into macro variables so I can use them in a where clause against different tables that also have this field.

I'm currently doing it like this

proc sql noprint ;

select min(keyid) into :min_keyid

from tblRaw

;

select max(keyid) into :max_keyid

from tblRaw;

quit ;

is there a better way to do this?  I can't seem to get both variables assigned with just 1 proc sql.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jerry,

I think you are looking for:

proc sql noprint ;

select min(keyid),max(keyid) into :min_keyid,:max_keyid

from tblRaw

;

quit ;
