data cig.subset;
set cig.goodpanel;
by household_id;
if household_id=='2002189' then output;
quit;
I am new to SAS, and I'm not sure if the fourth line is done correctly. I tried '=' and '==' and the number without '' and with ''.
Nothing worked. Can someone please help?
Many thanks,
C
Instead of using "quit;" - use a "run;"
First you have to know whether houshold_id is numeric or character. Did your log give you an indication of what kind of error you had?
You can discover what type of field it is by running:
proc contents data=cig.goodpanel;
run;
if it is numeric then, in your code, use:
if household_id eq 2002189 then output;
although = would have worked just as well.
if it is character then it may just include extra spaces and you could try
if strip(household_id) eq "2002189" then output;
Let the forum know if that worked and, if not, post your log the next time.
180
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
I used the following:
data cig.test;
set cig.goodpanel;
by household_id;
if household_id eq 2002189 then output;
quit;
Instead of using "quit;" - use a "run;"
