This should be a simple question, but the documentation is eluding me.
How do I drop the _TYPE_ column in the output data set?
proc means data=repeats mean max mode;
var count;
class serial_number;
output out=stats( rename=(_freq_=HW_events) where=(_type_=1) drop=_TYPE_) mean=Ave_repeats mode=Mode_repeats max=Max_repeats;
run;
I get an error
ERROR: Variable _type_ is not on file WORK.STATS.
If I remove the other options, _TYPE_ drops.
proc means data=repeats mean max mode nway;
then you don't need WHERE= in the output statement
Alternative: use the statement
ways 1;
in your PROC MEANS and again you don't need the WHERE=
