Hello all,
Instead of writing multiple lines on DATA population2 step, I am trying to use arrays. However, I receive message; "Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list"
Could you please help? Thank you in advance!
DATA population2; SET population; by state_2; if first.state_2 then cum_1990 = _1990; else cum_1990 + _1990; if last.state_2 then output; RUN; DATA population3; SET population; by State_2; array year_array {30} _1990 - _2019; array cum_array {30} _1990cum - _2019cum; do i = 1 to 30; if first.state_2 then cum_array {i} = year_array {i} ; else cum_array {i} + year_array{i}; if last.state_2 then output; end; RUN;
On a numbered variable list, the numeric suffix has to be at the end of the variable name:
array cum_array {30} _cum1990 - _cum2019;
On a numbered variable list, the numeric suffix has to be at the end of the variable name:
array cum_array {30} _cum1990 - _cum2019;
