Converting a SAS-generated table into a dataset

[sejiki7]

I've made a table in SAS, and there have been no errors. Now, I want to take this table, and make it into a dataset that SAS can use to make graphs, run analysis, etc. I think that this code should go in after the libname statement, but I don't know what to put, or if this is even possible. Could someone take a look at this snippet and tell me if it's possible?

libname ISIS 'SAS-library';

proc sql;

 create table WORK.Table1
 (IdNum num,
 Region char(4),
 Country char(3),
 Casualties num,
 Weapons char(5),
 Execution char(1),
 Success char(2),
 Responsibility char(1));
 
insert into WORK.Table1
     values(201601010005,'MENA','IRA',5,'EXP','N','IS','C')
     values(201601010024,'MENA','IRA',28,'EXV','N','IS','C')
     values(201601020015,'MENA','IRA',83,'UNK','Y','IS','S')

...

     values(201602270009,'MENA','SYR',null,'FIR','N','UN','C')
     values(201602270010,'MENA','SYR',2,'EXP','N','IS','S')
     values(201602270010,'MENA','SYR',7,'EXV','N','IS','C');

/*Replace semicolon (;) after all values() are inputted*/
	
title 'ISATT.Table1';

/*Code below is for SAS output */
proc print;

	title1 BOLD 'ISIS Data';
	title3 ITALIC 'Converted from original data';
	title4 ITALIC 'Periods represent null values (composite attacks or unknown casualties)';
	footnote1 BOLD 'Codes';
	footnote3 'Region: MENA-Middle East/North Africa, WEUR-Western Europe, EEUR-Eastern Europe, NAME-North America, ASIA-Asia, OCEA-Oceana, SSAF-Sub Saharan Africa';
	footnote4 'Country: IRA-Iraq, SYR-Syria, LEB-Lebanon, AFG-Afghanistan, TUR-Turkey, USA-United States of America, UKI-United Kingdom, FRA-France, DEU-Germany, RUS-Russia, PHI-Philippines, OTH-Other';
	footnote5 'Weapons: EXP-Explosive Device, EXV-Explosive-laden vehicle, FIR-Firearms, OTH-Other, UNK-Unknown';
	footnote6 'Execution: Y-Yes, N-No';
	footnote7 'Success: IS-ISIS, AT-Anti-terrorism, UN-Unknown';
	footnote8 'Responsibility: C-Claimed, S-Suspected';

EDIT: I'm using SAS University Edition running in a virtual environment in VMWare Workstation Player, on Chrome build 65.0.3325.181.

Dataset work.table1 is immediately available for further processing after you create it with proc sql.

[sejiki7]

The issue is, when I go and try to retrieve the data, I get an error in the log that says "ERROR: File WORK.ISIS.DATA does not exist." and " ERROR: No data set open to look up variables."

[Kurt_Bremser]

According to your code, isis is a library, not a dataset.

So you have an error in how you try to access your newly created dataset.

Post your code.

[sejiki7]

Code is above in OP.

[Kurt_Bremser]

There is NO place in that code where you try to access work.isis, so the log can't come from it. Post your real code that caused the error, or still better, the whole log.

The log is below. Sorry, I'm just starting out in SAS, and am not really familiar with it. 😞

Slight branch: would it be easier for me to isolate this program as one program, in which I save the data as a SAS table and create a dataset, then use another program to manipulate that dataset?

[Reeza]

proc print;

You should always include a DATA statement in your process so its exactly clear what you're running.

What happens if you run the following code:

proc print data=table1 (obs=20) noobs label; run;

[sejiki7]

So I think I understand the proc print statement; it's to take the data that was previously inputted and display it in the results tab, right? I'm not sure where to put the second snip of code that you just posted. Sorry, I'm new to SAS.

[Reeza · Accepted solution]

  proc sgplot data=ISIS; 

Your data set is named TABLE1 not ISIS.

Your library is ISIS according to your libname statement. 

A library is a folder that stores your data sets. 

[sejiki7]

That brings up another question that I had: previously, when I tried to make a library and save some other data set to it, as soon as I ran the program, the library would disappear, and the program would fail, saying that it couldn't find the now-gone library. I don't have this code anymore, but can you think of any reasons why it would do this? Does it have to do with the fact that I am running SAS University Edition from a virtual environment with the username 'sasdemo' as opposed to running a standalone version of the software or one with unique logins?

[Reeza]

No, you likely did something incorrectly is more likely. 

I've never seen that behaviour with code correctly written. 

[sejiki7]

Hey! That's it! Thanks!
