IF-Loop

[deleted_user]

Hi, I use the code below :
data revenue2;
set CAT_SORT;
if Good = "A" THEN
Margin = 10*Unit;
if Good = "B" AND
"01/01/2001"<=Date<="31/01/2001" THEN
Margin = 20*Unit;
IF Good = "B" AND
"01/02/2002"<=Date<="28/02/2002" THEN
Margin = 30*Unit;
RUN;


Is there a change that you could sugeest so that I use the IF twice only, that is, use Good="B" only once.

Kind Regards,
Mar

you need to rephrase your message as it is not appearing correctly because of special symbols like <= avoid using < or <= by using LT or LE in syntax you post

Another option is to bookmark this link for future reference on forum posting guidelines with special-character content.

Also, for MarkC (and other posters) -- think before you post, particularly when selecting a forum, rather than simply choosing the first one in the list -- honestly, you're not the only individual doing this but it's a gentle suggestion.
