data WORK.Time ; infile 'Data.csv' delimiter = ',' MISSOVER DSD lrecl=32767 firstobs=2 ; format StartTime datetime. ; format ClosingTime datetime. ; input ID $12. StartTime :YMDDTTM. ClosingTime :YMDDTTM. Fee time=INTCK('minute',ClosingTime,StartTime);

I tried to use the above code to input two time variables and calculate the interval between them. The time format was like
2014-01-01 02:56:37 and after reading into SAS, it is like 01JAN14:02:56:37
when I use
time=INTCK('minute',ClosingTime,StartTime);
but the INTCK function gave error:
ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: a name, arrayname, _ALL_, _CHARACTER_,
_CHAR_, _NUMERIC_.
ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.
when I use
time = ClosingTime-StartTime;
RROR: Missing numeric suffix on a numbered variable list (ClosingTime-StartTime).
any hints?
Are you missing the semicolon at the end of the INPUT statement?
Are you missing the semicolon at the end of the INPUT statement?
yes. thanks.
this solved the problem.
