If i use this code to create a data set, the day_tran variable is not created.
But if comment out declaration, then the variable is created but with a log message "WARNING: Line 570: No DECLARE for assigned-to variable day_tran; assuming type double."
Is that normal or is there way to counter this message?
method run();
declare double day_tran;
set dsets.ersplita;
day_tran=date2days(to_double(startdt),to_double(startdt));
end;
If you want it output to the dataset, you have to declare it outside of a method. For example:
data class;
set sashelp.class;
run;
proc ds2;
data wantds2;
dcl double day_tran;
method run();
set class;
day_tran=intnx('year',0, age);
end;
run;
quit;
