Bringing data into SAS using Datalines option

[sks521]

Hi I want to bring some data into SAS using 'Datalines' option.

Example of the syntax is copied into programme window. Can someone tell what's wrong with the syntax and how can I correct it please?

data CMC;
input Study: $32	Location: $32	Sample 9.  Numbers_CCC 8.;
datalines
;

Akenroye    	US      	1415721  	125774

Hi @sks521  Please notice the change in the input statement with Informats with a period(.) as suffix and not having an explicit informat to read numbers for variables sample and numbers_ccc

input Study: $32.	Location: $32.	Sample   Numbers_CCC ;

data CMC;
input Study: $32.	Location: $32.	Sample   Numbers_CCC ;
datalines

Hi,

This step brings the data in correctly but when I want to perform calculations involving 'Sample' and 'Numbers_CCC' variables for example in the code on here; it gives me this message;

145 data CMC;
146 alpha = 0.05;
147 L = 1 - betainv(1 - alpha/2,Sample-Numbers_CCC+1,Numbers_CCC);
148 U = betainv(1 - alpha/2,Numbers_CCC+1 ,Sample-Numbers_CCC);
149 put L= U=;
150 run;

NOTE: Variable Numbers_CCC is uninitialized.
NOTE: Variable Sample is uninitialized.
L=. U=.
NOTE: Missing values were generated as a result of performing an operation on missing values.
Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column).

Posting the syntax on here;

data CMC;
alpha = 0.05;
L = 1 - betainv(1 - alpha/2,Sample-Numbers_CCC+1,Numbers_CCC);
U = betainv(1 - alpha/2,Numbers_CCC+1 ,Sample-Numbers_CCC);
put L= U=;
run;

Hi @sks521  okay, So basically you are trying to do the following

1. Read a set of raw datalines and create a SAS dataset

2. Using the dataset created, do some manipulation.

So 1. is complete now as the read and create part is done

For 2. You need a SET statement to read the dataset records that you created for manipulation and any more processing like

data CMC_2;
set cmc;

data CMC2;
set cmc;/*notice here*/
alpha = 0.05;
L = 1 - betainv(1 - alpha/2,Sample-Numbers_CCC+1,Numbers_CCC);
U = betainv(1 - alpha/2,Numbers_CCC+1 ,Sample-Numbers_CCC);
put L= U=;
run;

Thanks but it still doesn't perform any calculations. For example you could tell that I want to calculate upper and lower confidence limits for each study proportion but I get this message;

151 data numeric;
152 set CMC;
153 alpha = 0.05;
154 L = 1 - betainv(1 - alpha/2,Sample-Numbers_CCC+1,Numbers_CCC);
155 U = betainv(1 - alpha/2,Numbers_CCC+1 ,Sample-Numbers_CCC);
156 put L= U=;
157 run;

L=. U=.

Working fine now. Thanks
