Look at just this much of your code:

 

data _04_postindex_&inf. ;
set derived._01_cohort1_final ;
&&inf. =1 ;
where (code in:(&&inf.)) and (index_date le svcdate le period stop) ;
run ;
 

 

Whatever &&inf. resolves into, you will always get an error.  There is no way you could take any possible set of characters, plug it into both of these statements, and have it form a working program:


&&inf. =1 ;
where (code in:(&&inf.)) and (index_date le svcdate le period stop) ;

 

I suspect you should be changing the number of ampersands in both places:


&inf. =1 ;
where (code in:(&&&inf.)) and (index_date le svcdate le period stop) ;

 

Try it and see what you get.

Macros have to produce valid SAS code.

 

(code in:(late))

 

This is not valid code in a where statement.

where (code in:(&&inf.)) and (index_date le svcdate le period stop) ;

 

I suspect you should be changing the number of ampersands in both places:


&inf. =1 ;
where (code in:(&&&inf.)) and (index_date le svcdate le period stop) ;

 

Try it and see what you get.

Astounding
PROC Star

Yes, WHERE statements can have trouble unquoting in time.  You have applied the %STR function unnecessarily many times:

 

%let int = %str("001","002","003","004","005","006","007","008","009") ;

 

Get rid of %STR so this statement becomes:

 

%let int = "001","002","003","004","005","006","007","008","009";

 

There are many other such cases.  Keep %SCAN, but get rid of %STR in all the %LET statements.

What happens if you run the above outside of the macro?
