Code Technically correct

[Ranjeeta]

Hello folks,

I run the code below and get no errors but it is not resulting in the expected output

Is the code technically correct?

data mitra1617;
set dad.dad1617;
ARRAY ARRAY_IC [20] INTERV_CODE_01- INTERV_CODE_20;
if PROVINCE_ISSUING_HCN='ON' and RESPONSIBILITY_FOR_PAYMENT='01' and HCN_INDEX='H'
and AGE >=18 ;
DO I=1 TO 20;

IF SUBSTR(ARRAY_IC[I],1,5) ='1HU80' THEN output;

END;

Explain this further. Show us the output that is not what you expect, and show us what you do expect.

A code can be correct syntax wise, but that doesn't mean the logic is correct. So I suspect an issue you're seeing here is duplicate records being output? Otherwise, without knowing what logic you're trying to implement we can't really answer that question.

Please post: 

(1) a sample of your data

(2) The output of that sample

(3) Point which output is not expected and explain why
