do statement for age calculation

[spg]

Hi all,

This is a new twist to a question I’d asked in this forum some time back.

Can someone please see why this macro is not working? I’m calculating ages of different family members over different years (this also helps me to account for newcoming members and those that expire).

I’m trying to calculate age of each person in the family at the end of the year. I don’t see the ages increasing each year. Any inputs?

(A=year, b=weeks)

%macro calc(a,b);

data set&a&b;

set set&a&b;

array person {9} person1-person9;

array age {9} age1-age9;

array age_person {9} age_person1-age_person9;

do i=1 to 9;

age=floor( (intck('month', PERSON, '31dec20&a'd) -(day('31dec20&a'd) < day(PERSON)))/12);

end;

run;

%mend;

%calc (12,52);

%calc (11,52);

Thanks,

Try changing your single quotes to double quotes and ending your macro var with a period.
