Hi,

 

I keeping getting this error message below, I do not know why that comes up, oiv. and riv. are numberical, is there any way to make the sysfunc below numerical?

and %sysfunc(inputn(&ioyear.,8.)) - oiv.period = 1

and %sysfunc(inputn(&ioyear.,8.)) - riv.period = 1

 

 

ERROR: Expression using subtraction (-) requires numeric types.

Macro variables are always text and there isn't a numerical/character component to them. As long as the expression is valid it's fine.

 

I suspect the error is somewhere else. 

 

Note that OIV and RIV refer to the data source, not a variable, so they cannot be numeric as you've stated. 

 

and oiv.period = "&ioYear" -> oiv.period is character

and riv.period = &ioYear. -> riv.period is stored as a numeric.

Thanks Reeza, so how can I correct this part:

 

and %sysfunc(inputn(&ioyear.,8.)) - oiv.period = 1

and %sysfunc(inputn(&ioyear.,8.)) - riv.period = 1

 

So I do not get errors? Is there a way to correct this?

Convert the character one to numeric using INPUT.

Someone mentioned earlier this:

 

and &ioyear. - oiv.period = 1

and &ioyear. - riv.period = 1 ;

 

At any rate, %SYSFUNC cannot be used with INPUT.  You would have to switch to INPUTN or INPUTC instead.

I get this error now:

 

ERROR: The INPUT function referenced in the %SYSFUNC or %QSYSFUNC macro function is not found.

and &ioyear. - input(oiv.period, 4.) = 1
