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

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.

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;
