Good morning,
I've converted a working update statement from SQL Server to SAS and am trying to get it to run in FedSQL. Am getting an error I haven't seen before and can't find much in terms of references:
2003 proc fedsql;
2004 update Sac3
2005 set NHHF = ((select sum(Sales_Count)
2006 from SalesFiles
2007 where filename in (select filename from FilesV)
2008 AND receivedate <= &fedend
SYMBOLGEN: Macro variable FEDEND resolves to DATE'2019-05-13'
2009 AND SalesType = SAC3.EncounterType
2010 AND MCO = 'West') -
2011 (select sum(case
2012 when (Sales_Count is NULL or Sales_Count = 0)
2013 then Manufacturing_Count
2014 else Sales_Count
2015 End)
2016 from SalesFiles
2017 WHERE filename in (select filename from FilesV)
2018 AND SalesType = SAC3.EncounterType
2019 AND MCO = 'West') )
2020 /
2021 nullif((select sum(Sales_Count)
2022 from SalesFiles
2023 WHERE filename in (select filename from FilesV)
2024 AND SalesType = SAC3.EncounterType
2025 AND MCO = 'West'),0)*100.00
2026 Where DataElement = 'Sales';
ERROR: Error occurred initiating Filter.
ERROR: General error
2027 quit;
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Does the query run without macro variables?
Hi Chris,
No change when substituting a date literal vs a macro variable.

OK, I tried to simplify your query until I found what generates a General error.
The first query runs fine, the second one runs too but the log shows:
NOTE: General error
proc fedsql;
update CLASS
set AGE = ( select mean(max(WEIGHT,HEIGHT))
from CLASS
where NAME like 'B%'
)
where NAME like 'J%';
quit;
proc fedsql;
update CLASS
set AGE = ( select mean(case
when WEIGHT in (.,0)
then HEIGHT
else WEIGHT
end)
from CLASS
where NAME like 'B%'
)
where NAME like 'J%';
quit;
I don't see why this should be. Tech support is your best hope now I reckon.
