Else-Do vs Else

[apple]

Hi

Using SAS 7.1, what is the difference between "Else" and "Else Do"

Thank you

You use ELSE for a single statement, ELSE DO with an END statement for multiple statements.

It is called a block.  If you have one statement after the conditonal you just put the one statement.  If you have multiple statements then they become a block, defined by do end.  See the documentation:
