Macro: if within do loop

[Newph]

Hi I am truing to create a macro with if statement within a do loop but I kept on geeting an error:ERROR: There is no matching %IF statement for the %ELSE.
ERROR: A dummy macro will be compiled.

Below is my code, any help woul be greatly appreciated

%macro test;

%do I=1 %TO 20;
%if &I=1 %then %do;
...
%end;
%else %do;
...
%end;
%END;
%MEND test;
%test;

You need to post you whole code. It is very likely that in the body of your suppressed code (the ...) you have made an error such as not closing a quote, ( or missing a semicolon. The error is typical when one of these happens.

heres the code--thanks in advance for any help

%macro test;

%do I=1 %TO 20;

%if &I=1 %then %do;
proc logistic data = mydata order=internal descending outmodel=outdata;
model &dep =&ind
/MAXITER=1000000;
run;
%end;

%else %do;

proc logistic data = mydata2 order=internal descending outmodel=mydata3;
model &dep =&ind
/MAXITER=1000000;
run;

proc logistic inmodel=mydata3;
score clm data = mydata4 out=mydata5;
run;

%end;

%END;
%MEND test;
%test;

For starters, where are the macro variables &dep and &ind set?

You don't appear to declare either within your macro.

I'm with Art on this. We need to know what the values of &dep and &ind resolve to.

I'm going to suspect that something in the IND variable is being created with other code and it actually has part of the code such as %end instead of resolved values to a simple list of variable names.

%put dep=&dep  ind=&ind; and show the results.

I was able to compile your macro with no problems.  Could you attach the full log?

I also modified the code and just replaced the PROC LOGISTIC with a %PUT statement and it compiled and ran for me with no problems.

%MACRO TEST;
    %DO I=1 %TO 20;
        %IF &I=1 
        %THEN 
            %DO;
                %PUT &=I;
            %END;

        %ELSE 
            %DO;
                %PUT &=I;
            %END;
    %END;
%MEND TEST;
%TEST;
