Use NOT IN instead of NOT =

And SQL requires a QUIT, not RUN.

I'd also recommend using either single or double quote consistently but that's not something I excel at either 🙂

 

Something like this is a lot cleaner IMO:

 

proc sql;
create table stat_data as
select * from Penality
where
specific_Industry_of_Parent not in ( 
'mortgage lending', 
 "commodity trading; mining", 
 'banking',
 "insurance",
 "financial services",
 "banking & securities", 
 "investment advisory services");
quit;

Change "not =" to "ne".

Since this seems to select as expected:

proc sql;
   create table junk as
   select * from sashelp.class
   where sex not = 'F'
   ;
quit;

perhaps the issue is with the spelling of your values. = would be case and space sensitive.

 

Run this and show the result:

proc sql;
   select distinct specific_industry_of_Parent
   from Penality
  ;
quit;

Any chance the data set is actually named "Penalty" and not "Penality"?
