Hello, expert,

 

I have code:

 

ROC SQL;
CREATE TABLE WORK.Number AS
SELECT int(MAX('Primary ID'n / 7)) FORMAT=BEST12. into:RowN
FROM WORK.modeltraining_blocked;
QUIT;

 


%macro leaveoneout;
%local i;
%do i=1 %to 7;

data model_sample;
set WORK.modeltraining_blocked;
if ('Primary ID'n < (&i-1)*&RowN) or ('Primary ID'n > (&i+1)*&RowN);
run;

 

%end;
%mend;

 

 

when this code is running, it shows.

1. WARNING: INTO clause is ignored in the CREATE TABLE statement.

2.  if ('Primary ID'n < (&i-1)*&RowN) or ('Primary ID'n >
78 ! (&i+1)*&RowN); (two red underlie below the ")")
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, a quoted string, a numeric constant, a datetime constant,
a missing value, INPUT, PUT. 

 

would you please suggest the reason?

 

Many thanks

Hello,

You cannot create a new table and export columns to macrovariables using

the same SELECT instruction. Hence the INTO clause is ignored and the macrovariable

RowN not created.
