Thank you, Yes, I just removed from bmi515 library and into work library and it finally worked. Don't know why it wouldn't run it in my bmi515 library. 

Thanks

You referenced it incorrectly. If you want to use it from a library you use a format like follows:

 libraryName.datasetName

data want;
set bmi515.mydata;

run;

If a data set does not have the library portion, the assumption is that the library is in the WORK library. I would not recommend moving (depending on what that means) your data set to the WORK library as the WORK library disappears at the end of your session, including all data inside it. All other libraries remain between sessions.

It seems to me that the variable is LQF and not IQF ?!

[Joliek44]

Its IQF. Not LQF.
