I keep encountering an error stating that I have a DATA STEP component object failure with the following code:

DATA 	HW;
SET = Vitals;
MAP = (SBP+2*DBP)/3;
RUN;

I am trying to manipulated two variables from the data set (SBP and DBP) to create a third new variable, MAP, but I keep getting an error message that "The variable Vitals is not an object." Not sure where to go from here, thank you!
