Hello

User define From date and until date.

Then all months between FROM and until are calculated and create macro parameters for each date (YYYYMM).

The I need to import all files that in their name there is date YYYMM.

The problem  is that some files are not existing so I need to add condition IF file exist then import (otherwise I will get an error).

When I run the  "ConditionalImport" macro I get no outputs. Why?

What is the way to solve it?

What is wrong with my code?

 

%let  FROM_Question=1403;
%let last_Question=1812;

%let FROM_Question_date=%SYSFUNC(inputn(&FROM_Question.,YYMMN4.));
%let last_Question_date=%SYSFUNC(inputn(&last_Question.,YYMMN4.));
%let n=%SYSFUNC(intck(month,&FROM_Question_date,&last_Question_date));
%put &FROM_Question_date;
%put &last_Question_date;
%put &n;


%macro months;
%do j=0 %to &n.;
m&j.=put(intnx('month',&FROM_Question_date.,&j.),yymmn6.);
call symputx("m&j",trim(left(m&j.)));
%end;
%mend;

data _NULL;
%months;
run;
%put &n;
%put &m0;
%PUT &&m&n..;


/*import-Example for import in specific date.It is working well*/
%macro iimport;
%do j=55 %to 55;
PROC IMPORT OUT=SHEELON_a&&m&j..
DATAFILE="/Path/SHEELON_&&m&j...csv"  
DBMS=csv REPLACE;
GETNAMES=YES;
DATAROW=2; 
RUN;
%end;
%mend iimport;
%iimport;


/*conditonal import-I get no results!!*/
%macro ConditionalImport;
%do j=0 %to 55;
%if %sysfunc(fileexist(/Path/SHEELON_&&m&j..)) %then %do;  
PROC IMPORT OUT=SHEELON_a&&m&j..
DATAFILE="/Path/SHEELON_&&m&j...csv"  
DBMS=csv REPLACE;
GETNAMES=YES;
DATAROW=2; 
RUN;
%end;
%end;
%mend ConditionalImport;
%ConditionalImport;
