I have the current sas code that works fine:

 

DATA td.data_new
set td.data;
if not missing(A) then Points = 250;
else if B >= 10 and C= 0 then Points = 230;
else if D <6 and E >60 then Points = 150;
run;

 I want to convert this to some equivalent SQL code, so that I can use it in a proc sql statement. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Hi @sasprogramming 

 

You need to mention "ELSE" only once at the end and remove commas.

proc sql;
	create table data_new as
	select a,b,c,d,e,
	case when a ne . then 250
		 when b>=10 and c=0 then 230
		 when d<6 and e>60 then 150
		 else . end as points
	from data;
quit;
