Hi All,

 

I Need help

Use an array to find the minimum value excluding 0
 

This is my code

 

Data exam;

input x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6;

cards;

0 0 0 0 0 0

0 0 0 0 0 0

0 1 2 4 6 7

0 0 2 1 4 1

 

data exam1;

set exam;

array xall{6} x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6;

array temp[6] (0 0 0 0 0 0);

Do i = 1 to dim(xall);

  IF i = 1 and xall{i}=. then temp{i} = 9999 ;

    else if i=1 and xall{i}= 0 then temp{i} = 8888 ;

    else if i=1 and xall{i} >0 then temp{i} = xall[i] ;

 IF i >1 and (temp{i-1}=. and xall{i}=.) then temp{i} = 9999 ;

   else if  i >1 and (temp{i-1}=0 and xall{i}=0) then temp{i} = 8888 ;

   else if i >1  and (temp{i-1}>0 and xall{i}>0) then temp{i} = min(temp{i-1},xall{i});

end;

run;

 

I think the correct answer is
x1 x2 x3 x4 x5 x6 temp1 temp2 temp3 temp4 temp5 temp6

0   0   0   0   0   0  8888   8888    8888   8888   8888   8888

0   0   0   0   0   0  8888   8888    8888   8888   8888   8888

0   1   2   4   6   7  8888     1          1          1         1         1

0   0   2   1   4   1  8888   8888      1          1         1         1

Does your data have any negative values?

It is not clear what you expect as result or why you are using the temp array, the constant 8888, please clarify.
