Proc Sql Updates from 2 tables

[Jyuen204]

Stupid question but I cant seen to get to work.

I have a table with names and IDs (AGENT_REPORT)

I have another table with ID's (AGENT_TRANSFERS)

Trying to pull over the names to my table with ID's only

proc sql;
update AGENT_TRANSFERS as A
set AGENT_NAME = (select AGENT_NAME from AGENT_REPORT as B
where A.SRC_AGNT_LAN_ID = B.SRC_AGNT_LAN_ID);
run;

I get this error

_
73
76
ERROR 73-322: Expecting an =.

ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

Apologies, I'm used to coding in Toad and utilizing that syntax but trying to adapt some of this to SAS. Thank you

Looks OK to me, except for the run; statement (it's quit; with SQL)

Please post a more complete log using the {i} button.

Tried a few options

proc sql;
update AGENT_TRANSFERS as A
set AGENT_NAME = (select AGENT_NAME from AGENT_REPORT as B
                                    where A.SRC_AGNT_LAN_ID = B.SRC_AGNT_LAN_ID);
quit;

Ah i figured it out, one of the tables was using an alias and my brain was too tired to realize it.....

Try feedback option , if you are connecting DB try these options.

options sastrace=',,,d' sastraceloc=saslog;
proc sql feedback;
...........
quit;

no DB connections, just trying to bring in a value from another table
