I'm trying to see if a string that is returned by a scan function can be checked for in a list of strings as such:
if scan(CAG_code,3,"$") in("5234E","4321B","4456C") --> this is throwing a syntax error
an example of what CAG_code looks like is: 2286$2983$4456C
No error with this:
data junk;
CAG_code= '2286$2983$4456C';
if scan(CAG_code,3,"$") in("5234E","4321B","4456C") then put 'Found';
run;
Log and error message please.
My $0.02 guess: error on previous line such as missing ;

Yes, you were right! I was simply missing a semicolon.
