Error with multiple imputation of missing data using IVEware

[kk11]

Hi,

I am new to macros and trying to understand setting up of environmental variable.

I want to impute missing data using the IVEware software.

My data set has 94 variables and the variables with missing data are,

Categorical - 

ELECTIVE - binary

PAY1 - 6 categories

RACE - 6 categories

ZIPINC_QRTL - quartile

Continuous - 

TOTCHG
CCR_NIS

I am using the following code to run the macro using the SAS callable software IVEware.

libname SAMPLEWORK "C:/Users/Sam/Documents/Sample work";


options set = SRCLIB 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Srclib/sas' sasautos=('!SRCLIB' sasautos) mautosource;


%impute(name=impute, dir='C:/Users/Sam/Documents/Sample work, setup=new);
title SAMPLE Multiple imputation;
datain SAMPLEWORK.SAMPLE;
dataout SAMPLEWORK.SAMPLE_impute;
default categorical;
continuous AGE LOS TOTCHG CCR_NIS TOTAL_DISC readmit_score mortal_score;
mixed DISCWT NIS_STRATUM;
count NCHRONIC NDX NPR N_DISC_U N_HOSP_U S_DISC_U S_HOSP_U;
ABB AGE LOS TOTCHG CCR_NIS TOTAL_DISC readmit_score mortal_score;
transfer YEAR TAVR;
maxpred 15;
minrsqd .1;
iterations 10;
multiples 10;
seed 2001;
run;

I got the following error,

Can any one please help me?

Thank you,

As you have not provided the body of the macro %impute there is little we can say.

I would however point out that your code, after the macro call, is invalid SAS code in every line, so unless that macro does something special, none of that code will work even if you fix your macro issue.

It maybe correct for this "SAS callable software IVEware", which I have not heard of, but if so, perhaps a good idea to post on their forum?

Thank you for reply.

I am able to figure it out.

I didn't type " ' " at the end in dir argument.

Thank you.
