Hi All,
Can pls explain the below code. My doubt is
1. var.sec_terc --> is this a table or column name?
2.from DET_CT var --> What it is actually? If table, above one is column name is it?
proc sql;
create table CT_M. as select
var.sec_terc
,max (case when (var.mod_r in ('01') and var.CAL IN ('P') and FEC_COR_R BETWEEN intnx('month', "&PAR_FEC_H"d, -2, 'end')
AND intnx('month', "&PAR_FEC_H"d, -4, 'begin') and var.edad_m_r>=0) then min(12,var.edad_m_r) else . end) as C_150
from DET_CT var
where var.CALIDAD IN ('P' 'C' 'S' 'A')
and var.ESTADO_R not in ('7' '07' ' 7' '7 ' '70')
group by var.sec_terc;
quit;
I really suggest you look up some SQL help as this is pretty basic.

Point 2 first.
from det_ct var
What this does is it tells the compiler to take data from dataset det_ct, which is by default in the work library as no library specified, and assign to this data the alias var. Therefore to refer to any variables from this dataset I use the alias var.
Point 1.
var.sec_terc
This leads on from the above point, where an alias var has been created to refer to the det_ct dataset. It is effectively saying the variable from det_ct which is referenced by alias var.
