I am working on the below sql and sub-sql statement: 

 

PROC SQL;

  CREATE TABLE JR.PEAK AS
         SELECT s.USUBJID FROM JR.SV_SRC s WHERE s.SVSTDTC NE "" AND s.SVPENRFN=2
  ;

  CREATE TABLE JR.SV_SRC_STEP1 AS
         SELECT SV.*
         , ( SELECT ( CASE WHEN SV.USUBJID IN (SELECT p.USUBJID FROM JR.PEAK p) THEN "Y" ELSE "N" END ) ) AS P_2
  FROM JR.SV SV
  ;
QUIT;

 

It gives me the below error msg: 

 

270 CREATE TABLE JR.SV_SRC_STEP1 AS
271 SELECT SV.*
272 , ( SELECT ( CASE WHEN SV.USUBJID IN (SELECT p.USUBJID FROM JR.PEAK p) THEN "Y" ELSE "N" END ) ) AS PERIOD2
_
22
76
272 ! LABEL="Assigned to Period 2 (Y/N)"
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a quoted string, !, !!, &, *, **, +, ',', -, /, <, <=, <>, =, >, >=, ?,

Any help or suggestions will be appreciated!

I think your query could be simplified to :

 

PROC SQL;

CREATE TABLE JR.PEAK AS
SELECT USUBJID 
FROM JR.SV_SRC 
WHERE SVSTDTC NE "" AND SVPENRFN=2;

CREATE TABLE JR.SV_SRC_STEP1 AS
SELECT 
	*,
	CASE 
		WHEN USUBJID IN (SELECT USUBJID FROM JR.PEAK) THEN "Y" 
		ELSE "N" END AS P_2
FROM JR.SV;

QUIT;

Wouldn't a join be easier?

Or very simply:

proc sql;
  create table JR.SV_SRC_STEP1 as
  select *,
         case when USUBJID in (select USUBJID from JR.SV_SRC where SVSTDTC ne "" and SVPENRFN=2) then "Y" 
  	      else "N" end AS P_2
  from JR.SV;
quit;
