Please can someone help tell me why the data Ycomple1 is not being created despite the data Ycomple exist.

 

%macro multi;

data Ycomple1;  /*** This data is not created *****/;
set Ycomple;       / ** This data exist ****/;
%do i=0 %to  100;
ipw&i=ipw*WGT&i;
drop WGT&i;
%end;
run;
%mend multi;

Run the following and post the log then we can tell you why.

EDIT: I don't see the macro actually called so adding that in, just in case. 


options mprint symbolgen;
%macro multi;

data Ycomple1;
set Ycomple;
%do i=0 %to 4;
ipw&i=ipw*WGT&i;
drop WGT&i;
%end;
run;
%mend multi;



%multi;

put another semicolon after %end

 

%end; ;
