Hi Team,

 

I have created a SAS table by Proc Sql and then tried to create another table from the table created first like teh below example:

 

Proc SQL;

 

CREATE TABLE A AS SELECT * from B;

 

quit;

 

PROC SQL;

 

CREATE TABLE C AS SELECT * from A;

 

quit;

 

When I try executing the second SQL query I am getting error as A not found.

Kindly Help.

Your code seems to be working on the following simple test data?

 

data B;
input var1 var2;
datalines;
1 2
3 4
5 6
;

Proc SQL;
CREATE TABLE A AS SELECT * from B;
quit;

PROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE C AS SELECT * from A;
quit;

 

See log below

It is just an example on what I am working on explained in the below steps.

  1. B is another table existing in database and I am creating a table A selecting data from B.
  2. Then creating another table C selecting data from table A created in the previous step

Can you provide some sample data or some of the actual code you are using, because nothing is wrong in the code you have posted above 🙂

PROC SQL;
Create Table Employee AS SELECT A.NAME,A.SALARY,B.DEPT FROM EMP1 A LEFT JOIN DEPARTMENT B ON A.EMP_ID= B.EMP_ID ;
QUIT;

/***************************************************/
PROC SQL;
CREATE TEMPLE TEMP AS SELECT * FROM EMPLOYEE;

QUIT;

I am getting error 'Employee not found'

Hope this helps:)

Post the log of both of those steps when running them in immediate succession.
