Anyone know why i am getting this error, level_7_id are both of same data type?



44 PROC SQL;
45 CREATE table Calls_Handled_Temp AS
46 SELECT A.SiteID,A.Indicator_OutSource, B.ReportTime,B.Level_7_ID, B.agentcallshandled
47 FROM level7 A FULL JOIN jennifer.tbl_vccartsceintrvl B
48 ON (A.Level_7_ID = B.Level_7_ID)
49 WHERE
50 ReportTime >= &MTDfromdate and ReportTime <= &MTDTodate
51 order by ReportTime asc;

Perhaps you made a typo? There is no "IN" expression shown in your code.

Please check where condition and Macro Variable value and data type.
If you want to check, please run without where condition then see.
If you are not getting any error then it would be problem with the Macro variable .

unfortunately a GE and LE symbol have mis-directed the browser surface

The original message text may now be visible as quoted above, along with the hint

NOTE: The IN referred to may have been transformed from an OR to an IN at some point during PROC SQL where clause optimization.

I would suggest using option SYMBOLGEN and converting the testing of ReportTime into a "between" test like

where reportTime between &MTDfromdate and &MTDtodate

good luck
