WARNING 1-322: Assuming the symbol ELSE was misspelled as els.
ERROR 180-322: Statement is not valid or it is used out of proper order.
I am not seeing any errors when the above code was submitted.
If I replace 'else' with 'els' and submit I get the WARNING but not the ERROR.
What version of SAS and environment are you using?
Thank you for your help.
My SAS is version 9.2, and i used enhanced editor and submitted. But i always got ERROR , there were some question marks in the log. Very strange! I don't know why. I tried to install SAS again and the problem was still not resolved.
By the way, all other programs run correctly on the SAS.
I have solved this problem.
It is the SAS problem, perhaps a bug in my download SAS 9.2.
I installed SAS9.3, and then everything is OK.
Thank you anyway.
