WORK.G.DATA does not exist

[leeleelee]

Hello, I am unsure why the line: "order by t.month" is giving an error:

ERROR: File WORK.G.DATA does not exist.

Can someone help me to understand why?

libname G "/server/File/location";
libname O "&myfiles_root/file/location"Access=readonly;

%let RunYear = 2021;
%let DateA = 202108_211011;
%let DateB = 2021_202110;

data C;
set G.expdtrs_&RunYear._r&DateA.;
run;

data A;
set OSC.tcoc_part_a_&DateB.;
run;

data B;
set OSC.tcoc_part_b_&DateB.;
run;

/* Compare numbers*/
proc sql;
    create table compare as
    select t.month
          ,t.apple
          ,t.banana
          ,a.orange
          ,b.cherry
          ,case
               when t.apple = a.orange
                   then 'YES'
               else 'NO'
           end as difference_a_o
          ,case
               when t.banana = b.cherry
                   then 'YES'
               else 'NO'
           end as difference_b_c
    from G t
    left join A a
        on t.month = a.month
    left join B b
        on t.month = b.month
    order by t.month
    ;
quit;

Please show the full log.

Please show the code that is supposed to create the work dataset named G that your SQL code is trying to read from.

The code you posted defines a libref named G.  It then correctly uses it to reference a dataset in that library to create a dataset named WORK.C.  But there is not code show to create a dataset named G.

There does not appear to be any reason to create the datasets A, B, and C.  Just reference the real datasets directly with your SQL code.

   from G.expdtrs_&RunYear._r&DateA. t
    left join OSC.tcoc_part_a_&DateB. a
        on t.month = a.month
    left join OSC.tcoc_part_b_&DateB. b
        on t.month = b.month
