Hi,

I am getting the following error and I cannot tell what is wrong with input data.

NOTE: 3993 records were read from the infile 'zkqmmm9.mq.jcl.deadq.data(data1)'.
NOTE: The data set WORK.DEADQ has 3509 observations and 5 variables.
NOTE: The DATA statement used 0.01 CPU seconds and 19772K.

NOTE: The address space has used a maximum of 888K below the line and 23320K above the line.

Thank you. Unfortunately, this gives no additional hints. Did you actually try my suggestions ...

     length qmgr $ 5;

This statement goes BEFORE the INPUT statement.

     IF QMGR = " " THEN QMGR = 'LOCAL';

This statement replaces the current statement that is problematic.

attach my sas program

Tom · Posted 05-04-2019 11:59 AM

Why would you attach the program as a file? Use the Insert SAS Code icon in the forum editor.

OPTIONS LS=256 NOSOURCE NOSOURCE2 NOFMTERR nocenter;
options nodate pageno=1 pagesize=60 ;
data deadq;
   infile 'zkqmmm9.mq.jcl.deadq.data(data1)';
   input hdr $ 21-23 rc $ 25-29 queue $ 33-75 qmgr $ 81-84
         FORMAT $ 102-111
     ;
   IF HDR ne 'DLH' THEN DELETE;
data temp1; set deadq;
     count=1;
     IF QMGR =. THEN QMGR = 'LOCAL';
RUN;

Why would you attach a few lines of text as a file? Using the Insert Code icon in the forum editor.

Why are you using two data steps? And if you are why didn't you end the first one with a RUN statement to make the code easier for humans to read?

data deadq;
   infile 'zkqmmm9.mq.jcl.deadq.data(data1)' truncover ;
   input hdr $ 21-23 rc $ 25-29 queue $ 33-80 qmgr $ 81-101
         FORMAT $ 102-111
   ;
   IF HDR ne 'DLH' THEN DELETE;
   count=1;
   IF QMGR = ' ' THEN QMGR = 'LOCAL';
RUN;

When I read through the log, it tells me ... Oh, wait. I can't read the log. Maybe you should post it.

OK, the program tells me enough. The problem is in this step:

data temp1; set deadq;                                             
     count=1;                                                      
     IF QMGR =. THEN QMGR = 'LOCAL';                               
RUN;

There are two issues here. First, this not the way to check if a character variable is missing. You would need:

if qmgr = " " then qmgr = 'LOCAL';

Also, the length of QMGR is set at $4 in the initial DATA step. THere is no way to store all five characters in "LOCAL". You can change that easily enough:

data temp1; 
     length qmgr $ 5;
     set deadq;                                             
     count=1;                                                      
     IF QMGR = " " THEN QMGR = 'LOCAL';                               
RUN;

Still, I suspect that the log would tell me more.

I changed QMGR to 4 bytes.

IF QMGR =. THEN QMGR = 'LOCA';

Is that good enough?

Thanks David

Astounding · Posted 05-10-2019 11:53 AM

No. That's the wrong way to refer to a missing value for a character variable. Use a blank with quotes around it.

yuwda01 · Posted 05-10-2019 12:21 PM

thanks for the solution. Did not pay attention to " ". the error message has pointed to the other direction.
