Hi,
If I wanted to check in a proc sql for a null date values and convert to a furture date if null and then compare that date using current date, can't I use nvl function?
It's throwing an error. Please help.
For example, I may have null date value in a date field and when I wanted to compare this null date value after converting to a furture date agains current date ....
thanks!!
SAS sql doesn't have an nvl function like Oracle. Can you use the coalesce function instead? Take a look at: http://decipherinfosys.wordpress.com/2007/08/02/coalesce-isnull-nvl/
Maybe you can use Pass-Through SQL to use all the function of Oracle.
