SAS Macro issue

[raqthesolid]

Hello friends, I am using the following codes; 

*** average return;
options nonotes;

proc model data=sum_diff2;
by &byvar _name_ &rankvar;
parms a;
exogenous col1 ;
instruments / intonly;
col1=a;
fit col1 / gmm kernel=(bart, %eval(&lag+1), 0);*lag=6;

ods output parameterestimates=param0 fitstatistics=fitresult
OutputStatistics=residual;
quit;

data param0;
set param0;
type='Average ret';
run;

*** CAPM alpha;
options nonotes;
proc model data=sum_diff2;
by &byvar _name_ &rankvar;
parms a b1;
instruments mktrf;
exret =a+b1* mktrf;
fit exret / gmm kernel=(bart, %eval(&lag+1), 0);
ods output parameterestimates=param1 fitstatistics=fitresult
OutputStatistics=residual;
quit;

data param1;
set param1;
type='CAPM Alpha';
if parameter='a';
run;

When i run them i get following errors;

WARNING: This CREATE TABLE statement recursively references the target table. A consequence of
this is a possible data integrity problem.

Please have a looks and suggest something.

Not what I was looking for. Please turn on the MPRINT option, run the code again, and let us see the SASLOG.

In any event, this is not a macro error, this is an error in your call to PROC SQL and your call to PROC MODEL.

You have requested that the OUTPUTSTATISTICS table from PROC MODEL be stored in a dataset named residual. However, there is no such table named OUTPUTSTATISTICS from PROC MODEL. See http://documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=etscdc&cdcVersion=14.2&docsetId=etsug&docsetTarget=etsug_model_s...

[BrunoMueller]

Hi

In your code the name of the output table is the same as the name of the input table in Proc SQL. Because of this you get the warning:

WARNING: This CREATE TABLE statement recursively references the target table. A
         consequence of this is a possible data integrity problem.

Considering the ODS OUTPUT statement, check whether the Proc actually creates the output object you are looking for, you can use the ODS TRACE ON/OFF statement to check this, see example below:

ods trace on;
ods output moments=xmoments;

proc univariate data=sashelp.class;
  var age;
run;
ods trace off;

[BrunoMueller]

hi

Add the ODS TRACE ON; and ODS TRACE OFF; statements to see which output objects are created.

Bruno

[Reeza]

Here's a quick write up on 'ODS' tables that may help you understand why your code is incorrect.

I'm guessing that this isn't your code as well? Perhaps you can ask the original author for assistance?

[raqthesolid]

Thank you everyone. These procedures were enough help to spot and correct errors. 

[bera00]

Helloo,

I have the same problem since I am using approximetaly the same macro. Can you please tell me what have you corrected with your sas code.

I have  added the ods trace on

I have got:

ods trace on;

proc model data=sum_diff5;
by _name_ GROUP_1;
parms a; exogenous col1 ;
instruments / intonly;
col1=a;
fit col1 / gmm kernel=(bart, 4, 0);
ods output parameterestimates=pa0 fitstatistics=fitresult OutputStatistics=residual;
quit;
ods trace off;

I think the problem is that I didn t find the fitstatistics and OutputStatistics within the log . How can I know what is the equivilant of these two to get the fitresult and residual ??

Thank youuuu

[raqthesolid]

sorry i could not figure out the issue and dropped these
fitstatistics=fitresult OutputStatistics=residual;
from
ods output parameterestimates=pa0 fitstatistics=fitresult OutputStatistics=residual;
quit;
it worked for me.
