multimacrovariables in sql

[michtka]

Hy everyone,  I want to assign two macrovariables via sql,

I got the next dataset and code below, but the macrovariable &n1 and &n2 cant be resolved, appearing a warning message in my window log :

WARNING: INTO clause that is not in the outermost query block will be ignored.

the idea is assigned to the macrovariable &n1 the value of the treatment 1, n=3, and &n2 get the value of the treatment 2, n=2.

I try  in my code the line "into:n1 - :n2 " but it doesnt work, showing me that warning in the window log...

any help? Thanks in advance.

   data new;
   input subjid trt fday  tday;
    datalines;
    1  1 1 5
    2  1 . 4
    2  1 . 3
    3  1 1 4
    3  2 1 -5
    4  2 1 2
    4  1 1 4
    ;
    run;

     proc sql;
   create table totalx as
   select count(distinct subjid) as n, trt 'Treatment', 'number of subjects condition A' as col0
   into :n1 - :n2                 /*I add this line, but  it is not right*/
   from new
   where fday ne .
   group by trt

   union

   select count(distinct subjid) as n, trt 'Treatment', 'number of subjects condition B' as col0

   from new
   where fday ne . and tday le  0
   group by trt
   order by col0;
   quit;

    %put &n1;
    %put &n2;

An INTO clause cannot be used in a CREATE TABLE statement.

Is this what you want (it is not clear what you mean by the value of the treatment)

proc sql;

select count(fday) into :n1- from new group by trt;

quit;

[PGStats]

No, I guess you want this :

proc sql noprint;

select count(distinct subjId) into :n1- from new where fday is not missing group by trt;

quit;

%put &n1;

%put &n2;

LOG's information told you you can't use INTO clause in this way, therefore, you need a separated statement to get it ,just as Pierre Gagnon did.
