Main Frame program

[kajal_30]

I have I am working on a main frame program for the first time.When it says 

TABLE FILE CARS1

PRINT

CYLINDERS

COUNTRY

PRICE

MAKE

MODEL

WHERE PAL = 'DAV'

END 

FIN

as I don't have PAL variable in the actual dataset and where PAL = 'DAV' statement says put PAL = 'DAV' or it works as a regular where filter in base SAS or it main frame code work differently?

Thanks

The syntax for WHERE statement is equal on all SAS platforms - MF/Unix/Linux/Windows etc. 

You can check which variables are in dataset by running PROC CONTENTS.

I guess you got an exercise on sashelp.cars dataset.

Write a code and check - maybe PAL, if it doesn't exist it is a typo and replace it to

the right name.

What you posted is neither a SAS program nor a program in any other language on mainframes (JCL, COBOL, PL/1) I know of.

If you have trouble with a step in a SAS program, post the whole log of this step; use the </> button to post it.
