Dear All,
Would you please help me to achieve something as below?
list1 contains a list of continuous and categorical variables altogether & sublist contains only continuous variables.
If the sublist contains more then 2 variables then 'else do' step runs twice or more.
Would it be possible to put a stop or condition on the 'J' loop that it should only run once for list1 variables?
%do i = 1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&list1));
%do j = 1 %to %sysfunc(countw(&sublist));
%let main&i. = %scan(&list1,&i,%str( ));
%let sub&j. = %scan(&sublist,&j,%str( ));
%if &&main&. = &&sub&j. %then %do;
/*Some steps */
%end;
%else %do;
/**other steps**/
%end;
%end;
%end;
Thank you!
Actually, it's sorted now by removing the second nested loop. and only comparing the variable list in sublist with the first list.
if yes then first step otherwise the other step.
