Hello,
I have a statement shown in the Syntax error. Please advice how to fix it.
where c_ageyears<3 and ((bage_12<22 and bage_12 ^= (88,99)) or (bage_12>45))
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: !, !!, &, ), *, **, +, -, /, <, <=, <>,
=, >, >=, ?, AND, BETWEEN, CONTAINS, EQ, EQT, GE, GET, GT, GTT, IN, IS, LE, LET, LIKE,
LT, LTT, NE, NET, NOT, NOTIN, OR, ^, ^=, |, ||, ~, ~=.
bage_12 ^= (88,99)
will not work.
Try
bage_12 not in (88,99)
Please, in the future, show us the entire LOG for this data step, with nothing chopped out, in the order that it appears in the LOG, rather than a portion of the code and a portion of the log. When providing the LOG, copy it as text and then paste it into the window that appears when you click on the </> icon, to ensure that it will be formatted properly.
The error was marked underlying the comma between (88,99).
bage_12 ^= (88,99)
will not work.

bage_12 not in (88,99)
