Hi - I'm trying to create new table with proc sql as below (I take it from sas guideline:
https://documentation.sas.com/doc/ja/vdmmlcdc/8.1/sqlproc/n1ncn0pznd8wrln1tnp3xdxjz9xz.htm )
The query run successfully without no error, but when I refresh the libname 'proclib' created in the code, it keeps refreshing and hasn't stopped for 3-4 hours. Can someone please explain me what's wrong here? Many thanks
Code:
libname proclib 'SAS-library';
proc sql;
create table proclib.paylist
(IdNum char(4),
Gender char(1),
Jobcode char(3),
Salary num,
Birth num informat=date7.
format=date7.,
Hired num informat=date7.
format=date7.);
insert into proclib.paylist
values('1639','F','TA1',42260,'26JUN70'd,'28JAN91'd)
values('1065','M','ME3',38090,'26JAN54'd,'07JAN92'd)
values('1400','M','ME1',29769.'05NOV67'd,'16OCT90'd)
values('1561','M',null,36514,'30NOV63'd,'07OCT87'd)
values('1221','F','FA3',.,'22SEP63'd,'04OCT94'd);
title 'Proclib.Paylist Table';
select *
from proclib.paylist;
proc printto; run;
The 'proclib' keeps refreshing:
