Hello. I am new too SAS. I am trying to combine the two tables below to include The domains from the Domains table that are equivalent to the question numbers that are on both tables. I keep getting the error below which says the the columns do not exist when I look at the tables I am pretty sure I am labeling them correctly? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


%LET A = A; TITLE "FINAL FORM"; PROC SQL; CREATE TABLE FINAL_FORM_&A AS SELECT Student, Results&A.QuestionNum, Scores, Domains_Form&A.DomainNum, Form FROM Results&A INNER JOIN Domains_Form&A ON Results&A.QuestionNum = Domains_Form&A.DomainNum; QUIT; PROC PRINT DATA=FINAL_FORM_&A; RUN;

ERROR: The following columns were not found in the contributing tables: Domains_FormADomainNum, ResultsAQuestionNum.

When referring to a macro variable, end the reference with a dot. Since the SQL syntax also needs a dot between the table name and the field name, use two dots:

ON Results
