KEY NOT FOUND error

[Ronein]

Hello

I am running this simple code and get error: KEY NOT FOUND

What is the problem? How can I fix it?

%let tbl=want2;
%let var=Nr_Increasing_12;
%let TARGET=KESHEL_FUTURE;
PROC SUMMARY DATA=&tbl. (keep= &var. &TARGET.);
VAR  &TARGET.;
OUTPUT OUT=inf_klali (DROP=_TYPE_)sum=all_bad;
RUN;

Here is Log

I would re-start your SAS session.  That error doesn't relate to PROC MEANS.

Also you log shows:

MPRINT(TREND): 

which suggests that some part of SAS thinks you invoked a macro named TREND.  So something very weird is happening.
