 i have 3 datasets , fruits, vegetables and diary dataset  names. if datasets (fruits, vegetables,diary ) exists do condiftional statements 

if datasets (fruits, vegetables ) exists do conditional statements 

 

i have code as follows, but it running all the all conditions: 

 

%macro checkds(dsn,dsn1,dsn2);
%if %sysfunc(exist(&dsn)) %then %do;
%if %sysfunc(exist(&dsn1)) %then %do;
%if %sysfunc(exist(&dsn2)) %then %do;
proc sql;
create table test..

quit;

.....

 

%end;
%end;
%end;
%else %do;
data _null_;
file print;
put #3 @10 "Data set &dsn. does not exist";
put #3 @10 "Data set &dsn1. does not exist";
put #3 @10 "Data set &dsn2. does not exist";
run;
%end;
%mend checkds;
%checkds(vegetables,Fruits,Dairy)

 

---For two datasets check i have code as below----

 

%macro checkds(dsn,dsn1);
%if %sysfunc(exist(&dsn)) %then %do;
%if %sysfunc(exist(&dsn1)) %then %do;
proc sql;
create table test..

quit;

.....

 

%end;
%end;
%else %do;
data _null_;
file print;
put #3 @10 "Data set &dsn. does not exist";
put #3 @10 "Data set &dsn1. does not exist";
run;
%end;
%mend checkds;
%checkds(vegetables,Fruits)

Try this....

 

%macro Test;
proc sql noprint;
  create table MYWANTEDTABLES as
  select memname,
  case when memname='FRUITS' THEN 1
           when memname='VEGETABLES' THEN 3

		   when memname='DAIRY' THEN 5 END) AS TOTAL
   from sashelp.vtable

    libname='SASHELP' and upcase(memname) in ('FRUITS','VEGETABLES','DAIRY') and memtype='DATA'
  order by calculated table_tag;
quit;

/* In the step above, i assigned a coded value whenever a table exist which when I sum-up will
