Hello everyone,

 

My code is as below:

data churchdata;
set "folders/myfolders/Programs/Week_6/churchdata.sas7dbat";
if upcase(LastNamePart) = "Church" and upcase(state) = "NY";
run;

proc print data=churchdata noobs;
run;

I got no errors nor any output.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank~

Time for a cup of coffee.

 

You didn't really expect that upcase(LastNamePart) could ever equal "Church" did you?

jc3992

I don't really understand...

Is that because of the data type?

I came back to check the data set,

There are surname which is "CHURCH"

so was it because of the Capital letter?

 

Also,

I have this code:

%let lname=Churchhill;
%let state=VA;

options MPRINT;

%let dirdata=/folders/myfolders;
libname perm "&dirdata";
run;
%macro church2(lname=, state=);
data churchdata;
set churchdata"&dirdata";
if &lname.=Churchhill and &state.=VA then do;
call symput('Churchhill',&lname.);
call symput('VA',&state.);
end;
title "The donors with surname &lname and from the state &state";
proc print data=churchdata;
run;
title;
%mend church2;

%church2(lname=Churchhill,state=VA);

Ask us to modify the earlier code (LastNamePart=CHURCH and State is NY to :

    1. (1) Modify your code in part (a) so that the last name of the donor and the state of the donor are macro variables, named &lname and &state, that are created in the first two lines of your program with %let commands. Use the name Churchill (entered exactly like this in your macro variable) and make Virginia (VA) the state.  Then run the macro that you created in part (b) to get a listing again, but this time with the data set you just created, with the same N of records and the same variables. Include the macro variables in the title statements so that they resolve to the correct values.
    2. The LOG showed no errors but still no output...sigh

So the real problem is that you are using UPCASE without really knowing what it does.  Here's a program you can use to test:

 

data have;

input original $;

upper = upcase(original);

cards;

Fred

bob

Church

AmY

run;

 

proc print;

run;

Like this?

DATA Step Statements

I'll only be repeating what others have told you.

 

You initially submitted the following code:

data churchdata;
set "folders/myfolders/Programs/Week_6/churchdata.sas7dbat";
if upcase(LastNamePart) = "Church" and upcase(state) = "NY";
run;

proc print data=churchdata noobs;
run;

The statement in that code:

if upcase(LastNamePart) = "Church" and upcase(state) = "NY";

Two things are happening with that statement. The IF part tells SAS to only select records that meet the two conditions.

The use of the upcase function tells sas to check the values of the two fields after those values have been altered to in in upper case. Thus, if the value were church and ny, it would be checking to only select those records where CHURCH eq "Church" and NY eq "NY".

 

No problem with the state part, but CHURCH doesn't equal Church.

 

Also, there's a problem with your set statement: it should have been:

set "/folders/myfolders/Programs/Week_6/churchdata.sas7bdat";

 

You should have submitted:

data churchdata;
set "/folders/myfolders/Programs/Week_6/churchdata.sas7bdat";
if upcase(LastNamePart) = "CHURCH" and upcase(state) = "NY";
run;

proc print data=churchdata noobs;
run;

Note: updated my response to include the errors I noticed on the set statement. The location didn't start with a / and sas7bdat was misspelled as sas9dbat

Hello everyone,

 

My code is as below:

data churchdata;
set "folders/myfolders/Programs/Week_6/churchdata.sas7dbat";
if upcase(LastNamePart) = "Church" and upcase(state) = "NY";
run;

proc print data=churchdata noobs;
run;

I got no errors nor any output.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank~

 

LOG:


Please learn to use a proper SET statement with something like

data want;

   set lib.churchdata.

...

 

When you use

 

set "folders/myfolders/Programs/Week_6/churchdata.sas7dbat";

the set statement used with a literal path/filename makes SAS create and assign a temporary library and with all of the code SAS studio generates in that case things may get ugly.

 

The warning messages you are getting like this:

NOTE 49-169: The meaning of an identifier after a quoted string might change in a future SAS release.  Inserting white space 
              between a quoted string and the succeeding identifier is recommended.
 
 37         DATA _NULL_;
 38         CALL
 38       ! SYMPUT("GRAPHINIT"
                             _
                             49

are likely happening because somewhere you have managed to get the compiler confused about what role a given quote is supposed to be.

 

 

And since that log has basically nothing to do with the code supposedly submitted it is hard to diagnose.

I just thought that was the safest way coz I am very familiar with that...
