Hi here is my code snippet not sure why its bugging out. Seems not to like the in command
%macro mylist(dataset,code);
data &dataset;
set &dataset;
%if &code= "ted" and date>="03May1993"d %then D=1;
%if &code in ("ann", "joe", "fred") and date>="01Jan1988"d %then D=1;
run;
%mend;
Thanks for your help
SAS Version? Current MINOPERATOR value?
You probably don't actually want a macro IF from context. It appears that your date variable is from &dataset which means the MACRO IF doesn't know where to get values of date and is going to be treating it as text.
Try: if "&code" in ... then D=1; This assumes that code will have a value of ann or joe or similar when you call the macro.
Similarly you probably want: if "&code" = "ted" and ... then D=1;
Your macro %If , should be a data step IF...so then your &code macro var needs to be wrapped in quotes....
