Code is below. I'm trying to subset a file and assign a binary variable to an ordinal value in another variable. Problem is that the first value, YesTot=0, gets assigned but the second one, YesTot=1, returns only a dot instead of a 1
DATA SLOWN;
SET SLOWNA;
IF MAT_1 = 'No' OR MAT_2 = 'No' OR MAT_3 = 'No' THEN OUTPUT;
IF YesTot = 0 THEN Lower3Amt = 0; ELSE Lower3Amt = 1;
KEEP Record Reapp Matched YesTot Lower3Amt;
RUN;
Any and all help is appreciated. Thanks!
You have written the observation before you gave Lower3Amt any value. So its value is missing.
Move the creation of Lower3Amt to BEFORE the OUTPUT statement.

That did the trick. THANK YOU!
