This line is invalid SAS syntax:

if_4_year_resale value is missing or Price_in_thousands is missing then delete;

 

You are missing a space after the if, the word value appears incorrectly.  You have not used the missng function correctly. Maybe something like:

if missing(_4_year_resale_value) or missing(price_in_thousands) then delete;

Astounding

One more item you need to correct, even if it did not generate an error message:  the SET statement does not use an equal sign.  The correct version:

 

set Prateek.car_sales;
