Can I enter proc optomodel inside a loop

The DO loop in SAS/IML does not support the comma syntax, thus the statement

do i=21 to 30, 51 to 60;

is invalid.

 

Instead, put those values into a vector and use vectorized subscript computations:

idx = (21:30) || (51:60);
F1 = b[,1]; F2 = b[,2]; ss = sum( F1[idx]=0 & F2[idx]=1 ); print ss;

The vectorized computation is faster and simpler than the equivalent computation that uses loops:

/* you could do this, but not efficient */
F1 = b[,1]; F2 = b[,2]; ss=0; do i=21 to 30; If ( F1[i] =0) & (F2[i]=1) then ss=ss+1; end; do i=51 to 60; If ( F1[i] =0) & (F2[i]=1) then ss=ss+1; end; print ss;

I'm guessing that you mean proc optmodel. Yes you can, but why?

I want to make a simulation on the model results

You have to be more specific than this, otherwise it is imposible to help you.

 

What do you have already?

For simulation and optimization, I recommend SAS/IML. It is easy to write a loop that simulates data, computes or optimizes some quantity, and stores the results.  search for your relevant terms at The DO Loop blog. For example, search 

    optimize simulation site:blogs.sas.com/content/iml

Ok. I will try it

Actually i generated normal data in proc iml and simulated this data twice as an example by do loops and then i used optmodel - milp to manupilate this data . After i finished proc optmodel how i can count some statistics on the result data . I used do loops inside the proc optmodel but it counts wrongly.
do o=1 to 2;
e=e+20;
do i=1 to 10;
e=e+1;
If (I1 [e] =0) & (I2[e]=1) then ss=ss+1;
end;
end;
print ss;

I am Sorry, but I don't know where is the running man icon.

I run the two methods, the first method gets error and this is the log.
NOTE: IML Ready

129 use WORK.New_Text_Document;
130 read all var {F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 } into b;
131 print b;
132 i=0;
133 ss=0;
134 /*do i=21 to 30;
135 if (F1 [i] =0 & F2[i]=1 then ss=ss+1;
136 end;
137 do i=51 to 60;
138 if (F1 [i] =0 & F2[i]=1 then ss=ss+1;
139 end;
140 print ss;*/
141 i=(21:30)||(41:50);
142 ss=sum(F1 [i] =0 & F2[i]=1);
ERROR: (execution) Matrix has not been set to a value.

operation : [ at line 142 column 11

Also,The second method by do loops gets error in the log

NOTE: IML Ready

129 use WORK.New_Text_Document;
130 read all var {F1 F2 F3 F4 F5 } into b;
131 print b;
132 ss=0;
133 do i=21 to 30;
134 if (F1 [i] =0 & F2[i]=1 then ss=ss+1;

The last thing, I run this program on 2 intervals of data. What if I have
large data and I want to run for many intervals of data (which are
systematic intervals). For example, after 20 observations, I choose 10
observations and so on. How I can do that?
THANKS,

1. The running man icon looks like this:

2. Sorry, I didn't realize you had read the variables into the matrix B.  I have edited my previous answer to add the line

F1 = b[,1]; F2 = b[,2];

which extracts the first column of B into the vector F1 and the second column into the vector F2.
